I don't take the time to check in here, well, ever really, but I wanted to see what other fans were thinking. I also have to agree with some of the recent posts, that this is a pretty disappointing album, for the Avett Brothers at least. It is pop/country, and while most of it is pretty good compared to the bulk of that genre, it's not pretty good for these guys. And some of it is downright sappy. Ugh.READ MORE
Ran in to them live at the americana folk festival in... maybe 2005? They were the second to last set, and they completely stole the show from Old Crow Medicine Show, who I thought I was there to see.
I've since seen them live numerous times, and it is ALWAYS outstanding. I've also collected their catalog, all of which (up to the most recent anyway) is nearly as good as seeing them live.
Also Disappointed
