Three years ago, Iron And Wine's Sam Beam entertained the idea of recording with Calexico founding member Joey Burns and John Convertino as the backing band for what would have become his debut record. Due to unavoidable situations, that recording didn't happen. Finally after much acclaime for both bands, recodring IN THE REINS took place in December of 2004. It's a collaborative affair that features seven Sam originals with the backing of the full Calexio band and vocals by Joey Burns. A truly harnominious affair wit hequal parts Iron And Wine and Claexico to satisfy fans of either or both.
