Free Music Notes for Emotionalism
Free Music Review: Stole the show in Telluride
Hit: 5 Stars
Just back from Telluride Bluegrass Festival where the Avett Bros fine set stole the show on Thursday of the fest. They mostly did songs from the Emotionalism album. In Telluride they played Paranoia in B-flat Major followed by Go To Sleep, which was a pairing that really got to you emotionally, self-condemnation followed by redemption.
These guys are as good as it gets. Be sure to see them live if you can. Buy the album.
Free Music Review: Fantastic Record
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been following THE AVETT BROTHERS for a couple years now, and I must say, this was the most anticipated record of my life, so far. Dylan's Modern Times and maybe Radiohead's Hail to the Thief as distant 2nd and 3rd. These songs are the most passionate, heartfelt, and moving I have ever heard from anybody in the pop scene, and there is no reason why anyone in the country couldn't grasp ahold of this group. As the band says, "it costs nothing to be honest, loyal, and true"... This record is a testament to that and the American musical spirit.Free Music Review: Love is the paramount emotion of "Emotionalism"
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard of the Avett Brothers a few weeks ago when they were featured on National Public Radio's Weekend Edition. The song NPR played to introduce the listeners to the Avett Brothers was "Living of Love". After hearing this song I was so intrigued with the superb melody, vocals and lyrics I immediately wanted to hear more. One listen to the Avett Brothers' new album "Emotionalism" and you will too!
While the theme of "Emotionalism" is love in all forms (lost, found and even paternal), the music styles are as diverse and interesting as can be. Styles that range from the Beatles-esque "Will You Return" to the Spanish Flamenco of "Pretty Girl From San Diego" and include Blues, Country, Classical, Hillbilly and Rock. All the songs are wrapped in beautiful melodies and have wonderful harmonies. The lyrics show wit and inteligence. All of these elements combine to make this album very accessable and easy to listen to.
This is a great album and I hope more people outside North Carolina (the Avett Brothers home) find it and enjoy it as much as I do. I found it quite by accident. I'm just lucky, I guess.
Free Music Review: Emotional Fulfillment
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow. I was really taken aback after listening to this cd for the first time. This cd is quite a musical change for the Avett Brothers, but it is definitely in the right direction. There's a lot of familiar and unfamiliar things going on here. However, the vocals are stronger than ever, the lyrics smart, and the instrument playing is extremely polished. There's even some drum work and piano! I've been an Avett fan since 'A Carolina Jubilee' and it's been interesting to hear the musical transitions from new release to new release. This is definitely the boldest! "Pretty Girl from Chile" and "Salina" are fine examples of the boys' willingness to explore new territory. If you were passionate about the Avett Brothers' previous release 'The Gleam', then you'll be all over 'Emotionalism'! Free Music Review: Best Band Ever!

I've known these guys for a few years and their recent appearance on Conan O'Brian is testimony to their talent! The sound is totally their own this new CD is awesome! They range from hard core rock to soft country ballads. Scott and Seth Avett really know how to play a crowd too! AND NO ONE CAN FORGET BOB! Buy this CD and Mignonette, Four Thieves Gone is also awesome my personal favorite is Colorshow and Swept Away (sentimental version). Anyway, check out their website and definitely go see them if they come through, it's worth it they're wild and crazy and fun to watch! Great time, every time!
