Thirteen Raggedy Old Avett Brothers Songs To Make You Love (Or Hate) I and Love and You Even More
If you've flipped through the pages of Paste in recent years—whether physical or virtual—you're likely familiar with the Avett Brothers, if not just flat-out smitten with them. We first told their story back in 2006 and caught back up with them this summer as they prepared for the release of their major-label debut. I and Love and You came on out Columbia's American Records imprint last week, and it's a glorious feat—you can read our own Bart Blasengame's thoughts on the record right here. (For the record, yes, that is the first time Paste—or anyone else, we estimate—has ever committed... read more
