    His loosest, most inspired set yet. [Mar 2005, p.86]

    Woman King is too short to be considered the high point of Iron & Wine's career -- it certainly points in that direction, though.

    His world-music diversions should challenge even those who aren't pedestrian Iron & Wine fans--but that's what EPs are for, right? [Apr 2005, p.116]

    Iron & Wine's finest work. Not a bad song on it. I just wish it was longer.

    Jezebel is my favorite song . period. numero uno. When I saw him play it in concert I cried.

    Jezebel is still fantastic, and In My Lady's House is pretty good, but the rest just bites. These songs are not good. I've listened to them several times, and they still do not come close to connecting. I think everyone is so anxious to give Sam Beam plaudits for changing up his style that they've overlooked the stale songs. Buyer beware.… Expand
