If ya'll haven't heard the new record from the Avett Brothers, it is a must!!! They are taking listeners by storm because of the quality that this record possesses. Please check it out, it will blow you away! Here's a link with teasers from the album and thoughts on behalf of fans. Also, their new video, "I and Love and You"...I'd love to hear your thoughts! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8oBFzbKJPE
