This song from the Avett Brothers has been played a lot on the likes of WXPN and it's ilk, and I have heard this song so often over the past year and a half that I hadn't posted it thinking that we've all heard it plenty. But it just occurred to me this morning that not EVERYONE knows this group or this song so....here you go. One of the most critically acclaimed bands recently, North Carolina's Avett Brothers have a sound all their own.
As described on Wikipedia: ...the Avett Brothers combine bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk, and ragtime to produce a sound described by the San Francisco Chronicle as having the "heavy sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the light pop concision of Buddy Holly, the tuneful jangle of the Beatles, the raw energy of the Ramones."
A lot to chew on there....suffice it to say they are unique. "I and Love and You" is the title track from their 9th album which was released in 2009. ENJOY!
From the album with the same name.
Listen to "I and Love and You"
great band
