Mumford & Sons - "The Cave"

Bob Dylan accompanied by the Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons - "Maggie's Farm"

• I hate to say it, but Bob Dylan needs to stop singing.
• I hate to say it, but Bob Crawford needs to unplug and get upright.
• I love seeing the Avett Brothers back in their classic attire, no more plaid and jeans.
• Seth Avett, you are handsome when your beard isn't touching your sternum.
• YES, The Arcade Fire won best album of the year, how did Funeral not win it way back when?
• Can't wait to see the Avett Brothers in Charlotte on 4/9.
• It's refreshing to see artists like these getting the audience they deserve.

Mumford & Sons | "The Cave"

I listened to Mumford & Sons album again after push from my buddies. I found a brilliant little gem that was a diamond in the rough, or rather a diamond in "The Cave." Led by guitar plucking, "The Cave" is slowly layered with banjo, drums, piano and eventually the full ensemble until it crescendos at the end. Then the deeply majestic lyrics that accompany the majestic instrumentals are moving. Whether it is a Plato reference of becoming enlightened as you leave the cave or a story of finding strength in god it's absolutely awe-inducing. Please grace your iTunes with this song.

Mumford & Sons - Cousins [Vampire Weekend Cover]

If you are a sucker for a good cover, you're in luck. Mumford And Sons, the newest band with a banjo, released their debut album Sigh No More in the US on Feburary 16th . They have an infectious sound that resonates throughout their music. Leaving you with only one teeming question, when are they going to cover a Vampire Weekend song?
The brilliance and ease that Vampire Weekend creates with their every song combined with the folk-rockin' musical muses of Mumford & Sons, this cover is a hybrid of only the finest offspring. The first version of the Vampire Weekend song was good, I'll have to say the build-up from slow to break-neck banjo-picking glory, rivals the first in quality. Check it out for yourself, but prepare yourself, this is no ordinary tune.
