Avett Brothers - Emotionalism
Quite the breath of fresh air in some circles. Don't bother to resurrect the rotting corpse of country music, it's dead, fully absorbed into the soil, and the grass that grows out of it is either God-shit or (please, kill me) Faith Hill.
But we can dream can't we? A world in which the Everly Brothers are understood and appreciated? We can listen to the Avett Brothers and their completely heartfelt and sincere brand of country music. Some truly fine songs here, like "Shame" - as in, it's a shame that country music has been taken over by a bunch of bloodsucking worms. The seemingly bizarre but ultimately profund "The Ballad of Love and Hate" documenting the relationship between a man named Hate and a woman named Love. "The Weight of Lies" - Oh Lord, why can't every record be like this?
