I was turned on to the Avett Bros. by a good friend from the bands area that
had known them for some time. I cant describe the freshness and absolute joy that
I have had at getting to know them. It was like a cool summers breeze after a long hot
day. It was like having a nice home cooked meal after 3 weeks of nothing but junk food.

I hope that you all get all the recognition that ya'll deserve.

Absolutely original and unique. It is the swift kick to the backside that
music needs today in 2010.

Good luck,

Uncle Chooky

Very good band! Enjoying the Avett Brothers while completing my second tour overseas. Love that they have varying tempo on the cd. Thanks to my wife for introducing this band to me. Thanks to the Avett Brothers for web access to their music and hope to see you in St. Louis at soon.

FANTASTIC album from start to finish. Personal favorites are Laundry Room, The Perfect Space, Head Full of doubt/Road full of promise, I and Love and You, Ill With Want, and Incomplete and Insecure. Many of the songs are catchy and fun. Others have a more dark and serious tone. The lyrics on this album, as always, are poignant, simple, but incredibly powerful. i can see how this album will appeal to the mainstream...I guess we couldn't possibly have kept this explosive band to ourselves forever...

If its this place or any other,
It's not where I am, its who I'm with.

My favorite is Laundry Room on this album - please tell me if there is another voice on this track besides an Avett Bro.

So good

Again, another great album!

love the new direction! it's q whole different style of playing

One of the best albums yet! I love January wedding! And of course I and Love and You! but makes me wonder i lf Brooklyn is the burrow or a girl, hmmm? would've been the best but need more folk!

Soooo glad I bought your CD!!! Totally worth it! I know I'll be listening to it alot!!!

I have never felt the urge to post on a fan board before, but this Album is just too good to keep quiet.

First saw TAB on youtube doing the Tiny Desk Gig. Instantly hooked. Laundry room is a bonafide classic. What can I say that has not already been said? Only that the talent has spread all the way to Norway boys. Please pay us a visit in Stavanger sometime!

Hi Avett's,

I was already a website member and a FB follower and getting continuous updates; so I thought that meant I was on the email list. But apparently I wasn't Sad. I added myself yesterday upon this realization, but that wasn't in time for presale Sad :( Sad

Wondering if I could get an exception for the Nashville show. We will be bringing 3 families - us who have been to lots of shows and 2 who will be new fans forever!!!

Please consider sending password....

Thanks lots,

As always the Avett Brothers don't disappoint. This album is filled with there beautiful lyrics, fun beats and signature Avett Brothers style. I'm a fan!

I was on my way to play a gig in Tennessee when i heard I and Love and You on the radio. As soon as i got home i bought the song, then the whole cd, it is GREAT!!!! I am always amazed at how diverse the cd is with the slow songs like January Wedding, then all of a sudden a fast song like

When this came out last year I was floored with what I heard! "It doesn't get much better than this", I thought. Thinking I would wear the cd out like others was not the case. How many cd's have you heard that you can listen to avidly for months on end and still think so highly of. All the albums are incredible, but they have really fine tuned it all. I look forward to more.....

This is an album that is like the night sky. For it is filled with stars, and all of them are beautiful/wonderful, and can hold your attention and cause you to drift into self and thoughts. Like that night sky, there is always that one star that catches your attention and holds it. Ten Thousand Words is that star for me....Amazing lyrics, phrasing, harmonies, musicianship/organ work and insight...You guys have captured musical magic.....TAH

My brother called me on my birthday (3 days ago) and said "Do yourself and me a favor and go out and get I and Love and You by the Avett Brothers" and so I did, and it ranks right up there with the best of birthdays and gifts. I had never heard of them or their music and all I can say is THANK YOU gentlemen. This album ranks amongst some of the finest these ears have heard. In these days of computer driven sounds and effect laden voices, it is so wonderful to once again be impressed by sweet sounds, soul stirring strings and vocals/harmonies and lyrics that sweep the dust from the mind, ears and room...I am on board this train till the last station. Thank you again for bringing and blessing all of us with your gift. It is a breath of fresh air and nourishment for the soul.....aaaahhhhhh...T. Hill

I give it a 6 out of 5 star..or in numerical terms, a twelve of ten.......well done gentlemen!!

This is an incredibly beautiful album. The musicianship is outstanding, the songwriting superb and the production by Rick Rubin just awesome. I am playing it non stop and can't wait to see the guys come to Europe to see them live.

Love this CD. Listen to it all the time and it doesn't get old. The fact that they put so much of themselves into these songs is the difference. Please dont ever stop making music!

My heart was captured by the music, my soul by the lyrics.

i know that it might sound chezzey but i love the sound of the fiddle and the gutair music washes the dust from the soul . when i was growing up blue grass music was my passion . im from kentucky and then i movied to florida and still listened fathifully i got made fun of alot but it was worth the laughs i did turn alot of myfriends on to bluegrass music . if you are ever in florida i would love to hear you play live and maybe sing and play too lol any way great song loved it loved it loved it

This album is absolutely fantastic! It's so passionate!
My father and I frequently argue what album is best. This one takes his list.
Each and Every song is enjoyable and even more so, each one is unique. I love how this album expresses the normalcy of the Avett Brothers and I love how so many people can come together in awe of I and Love and You. =)

Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be at least a little better than I've been so far

I love this album. The more polished sound on this record allows their amazing lyrics to shine. The more uptempo numbers have great lyrics as well but i feel to fully appreciate them you need to here them live...to me its the best album of the year

I simply LOVE I and Love and You. I can't get this song out of my head!! This group excites me more than any other in a long, long time. I can really sense something big coming on with the Avett Brothers. They are brilliant. I'm tempted to download the entire album onto my iPod. The Avett family should be mighty proud of their boys. Keep this sweet music coming!!

I had actually bought most of the songs on itunes already but I wanted a concert souvenir and I like the cd artwork. Incredible cd and concert!

I could say a million things that have already been said. Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing album and for keeping your heads on straight while doing it. Inspiration to the human race.

Been hearing about these guys for a while from a rabid fan. Not much into country music so of course I ignored her. Then I started hearing I&l&U on the indie station in town. Fell in love. Smiling I hear it's not like the old stuff, which I need to listen to but it's not country either. Kind of a alt bluegrass feel in my opinion, reminds me of Old Crow Medicine Show that way. I look forward to more, and for those that I have read that are die hard fans. Bands evolve... grow... morph as they age. It's a natural thing. Sometimes you like it sometimes you don't. As a rabid Pearl Jam fan (vastly differing tastes in music here) I can say after 20 years they have gone from one end of the spectrum to the other. I personally enjoy all of it but I know many don't. Can't keep a band in a box of their older music you need to let the breathe and grow.
Peace and Love

I and Love and You has to be one of the most influential songs I have ever heard. I hear it and it is so deep and powerful. I love yall. Keep up the good work! <3

This album is definitely different from their past ones. I feel that the lyrics are deeper and I also love the more mellow songs on this album as well. Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise has got to be one of my favorite songs of all time. Simply put, this album was amazing.

I think this is one of the band's most poetic albums to date. I was pleased to see that the first release on a major label allowed the band to expand their sound while staying true to much of what made previous TAB albums so great

i absolutely love this album. i listen to it all the time and its in my car right now.i can't pick one favorite song on this album..they're all my favorite Smiling their songs are so sincere and heartfelt.i love the Avetts

While the albums before this were very good, this one has a totally different mood and feel to it. This shows true depth.

Just makes you feel real good, just really good music!!

I just bought I and Love and You tonight. it is amazing! I am a new fan, the Avett Brothers are what I have been looking for.

I love this album. I think the greatest gift we received for our wedding in October was an autographed copy from our brother in New York. I am playing it as I type this. Love it.

I cannot wait to attend the concert in OKC tonight. Another great wedding gift from our Bonnaroo friends. I am allowing my students to listen all hour today as we make movies for Windows Movie Maker.

I was a bit surprised by the new songs on this album but have grown to love all of them. "I and Love and You" is now one of my all-time personal favorites ranking right up there with "November Blue" and "Swept Me Away." Great job guys!

Saw the Austin City Limits show a few weeks back, and makes me want to see them live; but loved how Seth was smiling on January Wedding. when he got to the part about "the names of the birds that are singing, and the trees where they're performing". amazingly simple lyrics but it works so well in the song. That's what you gotta love about the Avett Brothers.

Every album is new and fresh. NEVER THE SAME! I can always expect something different, deep, and wonderful. God has blessed you guys so much! When my sister came home with this I was in love with it before she put it in. It took my breath away and now everytime I see you on tv or your album in stores I'm like, "HEY I KNOW THEM!" And here is some proof that this album is a success. My parents lovveeee bluegrass. They've been playing bluegrass since they were babies. So I'd showed your music to them before and they weren't big fans but when I put this one in mom said,"WOAH! Is that the Avett brothers?" My dad got interested and then got all excited when he recognized who you were. Jim Avett and my dad used to get together and jam all the time and were great friends. In hopes to catch up with him again he's taking my whole family to Merlefest. And it was all from listening to this album. So thank you from me and all of my family in Stanly County. It takes a lot to impress my parents and when you do it shows that you must be something special. ...BTW Seth my sister saw you at the carwash the other day. haha

Since buying this album, and gaining a new found love of the bluegrass stlye , I have recently added every other Avett Brothers Cd to my collection.They are truly an amazing talent ! I couldn't possibly pick a favorite Cd but this one gets five stars.

There are 3 or 4 magnificent songs on this album. Head full of Doubt is so full of soul, and I and Love and You makes me turn the voulme up and sing at the top of my lungs everytime. That being said, I feel like there is a little bit of a loss of the old Avett feeling that was created with banjo/guitars and a certain piano "Ben Folds Five" vibe to the album, and the fact that I heard Kick Drum Heart playing in a Starbucks depresses the hell out of me

I first encountered the Avett Brothers on Austin City Limits. I thought they were amazing and had a very cool, different sound.
I bought the album and it was love at first listen. However, I do think the album is a little over produced. I personally think they sound better live
I look forward to buying their older albums and giving them a listen.

It's a new sound, a lovely sound with great new poetry that I'm so excited to have as a part of my collection. Laundry Room, January Wedding and Head Full of Doubt are on top of the list! I am so moved by the poetry, and there aren't words in the English language to describe it.

As much as I love the success that is coming your way, boys--a part of me just wants you all to myself with those lucky first few that discovered you years ago. I'm a newbie myself I'd like to think, it was a little over a year ago that I discovered you--and it was just what I needed!
