Hit: 5 Stars
A gentler more soul searching Avett Brother recording."Oh man" you will think, as you are listening, "I have, I did, exactly....."
Scott and Seths song writing skills are never better. Anyone that can sing a song about a hangover that makes you want to cry....brilliance. Nevertheless, as lulling and melodic as the wonderful disc is, see them live. They turn even the most melancholy tune into a foot stomping, string breaking rabble rouser. I love these Brothers.
Free Music Review: The Gleam
Hit: 5 Stars
The Gleam is the shortest CD I bought in 2006 and also the most brilliant. In six tracks, the Avett Brothers pack more emotional grit than most full lengths out there. They are stellar lyricists, managing to capture the darks and lights of our lives.
Any Avett CD is worth a listen, but the Gleam stands alone. Listen.

I had never heard of The Avett Brothers and saw them live at Pick-a-Thon in Portland, OR, while waiting to hear Iris DeMent and Greg Brown. To say I was blown away is an understatement! My husband and I both fell in love and never looked back. If you've got the gene, this music goes and tickles your lizard brain. The harmonies are pure and raw and the songs are completely personal yet about all of us. Even got to talk to Seth while waiting in line at the enchilada stand. He seemed like a very sweet, genuine guy. The Gleam? Yeah, for sure, buy it. Free Music Review: Slow it down

If any of you have ever seen the Avetts play live, you've heard songs like these (if you haven't then you need to go see them, seeing as they're one of the best live acts touring the country right now.) These are the songs that they play after string breaking intense tracks like "Talk on Indolence" and "Colorshow". They go so wild on some songs that sometimes they just need to slow down to get their breath back, and it's at these times you get to listen to just how beautiful and fragile their music can become. Most of these songs take me back to Carolina Jubilee with their similarities to Avett masterpieces like "November Blue" and "The Offering". "If It's The Beaches" may be the best song they've ever written. It is so heartbreakingly beautiful that it sort of shocks when you realize it's a breakup song. I'd have to say that a lot of first time fans that go to the Avett Bros' concerts go because of songs they've heard that display more of a punk twinge on bluegrass. They come back for songs like "When I Drink" and the songs they play like the ones on this album. If you've followed the Avett Brothers for a while now, I'd say this EP needs to be added to your collection immediately. It's one of their best. Short and sweet. If you haven't heard them before, pick this up and you're getting half of what they do. Buy their Live vol 2 for a better representation of what they do best. These gentlemen are revamping music in the south and I can't wait to see what they do next. True 5 star quality.Free Music Review: Avetts rock

HI..this album is a twist from the Avetts normal go...but it will not disappoint. I saw them play these songs live at three diffent venues. I have not been this excited about seeing a band live since the Dead. (how long ago was that..the 80's!)
