Do you ever get emails that make your day? Between all the pointless newsletter and payment receipts a bolded slice of refreshing information can really turn your sour morning into a ripe day. Figured out I got a good email yet? The information technically wasn't news to my ears but it certainly reminded of some news [an upcoming release] better than that extra cookie you snagged from the Chips Ahoy! container last night.

That's right folks, THE AVETT BROTHERS are putting out a new record featuring LIVE versions of most of their better songs. 4 songs from their latest album, I and Love and You, then 11 from previous records. 1 is "Ballad False Start" which is not new, just Seth flip-flopping some of the lyrics of "The Ballad of Love and Hate." That's a very genuine inclusion to the album, and unless Seth has twisted/forgotten the lyrics more than once [which I doubt b/c he is an accomplished musician] then this live recording is from their set at Bojangles Coliseum from August of 2009. Another awesome piece of news because I WAS AT THAT CONCERT.
If you have ever seen the Avett Brothers live you know what I'm talking about when I say they go all out and put on an ammmmmazing show. The live versions of many songs are less produced and have a rustic, Monster, and countryside feel to them, a reason why you haven't truly listened to them until you have seen them live. They released Live Vol. 2, a compilation of 16 Avett songs released in 2005. In the 5 years since they have released 2 EPs and 3 LPs [that sounds absolutely ridiculous, they're the real deal] so the pool of chosen works to include on Vol. 3 has considerably increased. With such a vast catalog it is hard to choose 15 songs to include and not leave out some incredible songs. [...if only picking kickball teams in gym class were like this]
WAIT, did I mention it is a CD/DVD combo? So not only will there be a CD to play in the car, but a DVD to have some visuals while you're listening. The DVD tracklist basically mirrors the CD sans the "False Ballad of Hate" and in it's place the breathtaking "Swept Away." [SPOILER ALERT: which will more than likely feature their sister on vocals, she was at the concert]
Pre-Order this BAD BOY right hizzle. Lots of goodies to get. Posters, bandanas, multiple disks. BUT NO VINYL. AVETT BROTHERS, WHERE DA VINYL AT?! GIVE ME THE VINYL. [or gold]

Here is a little gift from the most recent time I saw The Avett Brothers. A cover of Bob Marley's "Is This Love" played as an interlude in the middle of a song. What an epic combo. The Avett Brothers and Bob Marley. They should do a Bob Marley cover album next.
- Salvation Song
