In an era of music that favors singles, one hit wonders, and singing about material possessions over a heavily produced beat, The Avett Brothers are a welcoming exception. Every song is saturated with the color and emotion of real honest life. I have no problem putting them in alongside Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Neil Young, The Band, Ryan Adams and all of the best song writers of any generation. The Avetts seem to have a tune appropriate to any feeling, and that's why I can't stop listening to em.

At 20, I feel like I'm barely old enough to know what I mean, but I know that I wanna live with the honesty and intention that these guys sing about.
