The Avett Brothers.
I'd like to bring you a musical reference that I suggest you follow up on.
Like the Devil Makes Three, I first discovered the Avett Brothers over at theSixtyOne.com. They only had one song posted over there at the time (they still do), but it was enough to get me hooked. They've got the kind of feel that makes me want to pay them to write the soundtrack to my life right now. Or maybe just follow me around for a day.
Unfortunately, my 'pay people to hang out with me and write music' budget is sorely lacking lately, what with gas prices being high as they are. Instead, I'm resigned to merely playing them as loud and as often as possible. It's rare to find a band these days who can draw a picture with their lyrics, let alone convince me to wander out into the light of day to purchase a concert ticket - and these guys can do both.
Give them a listen. You'll be glad you did.
