Thirteen Raggedy Old Avett Brothers Songs To Make You Love (Or Hate) I and Love and You Even More

By Rachael Maddux on 7:00 AM on October 4, 2009

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

Watch the Avett Brothers Perform "I and Love and You" on David Letterman

By Michael Saba on 10:38 AM on September 29, 2009

"This is the plight of the Avett Brothers fan: He must keep a stiff upper lip as his heroes trek off into the great unknown mainstream." So says our review of the Avett Brothers' superb I and Love and You, their major-label debut LP, which is out today. And that trek is coming sooner than you think, true believers, because the Brothers debuted on the Late Show with David Letterman last night to perform a stirring version of the album's eponymous single....  read more

16 Albums To Look Forward To This Fall

By Josh Jackson on 7:00 AM on September 8, 2009

We've already shared 25 Indie Films we're looking forward to this fall, but here are 16 albums coming out between now and the end of October that we think you should track down. They range from a little-known (in the U.S.) singer/songwriter named Frank Turner who releases a record today, to R.E.M., who has a live double-album coming out Oct. 26. At least three of these will likely end up among my 10 favorites of 2009, including my current Album of the Year....  read more

The Avett Brothers Impromptu Backstage Jam @ Newport Folk Festival

By Jay Sweet on 2:17 PM on August 19, 2009

Hopefully you have seen Paste's recent A/V video where Sweet Talk brought the Avetts to the top of Fort Adams overlooking Newport Harbor during the Folk Festival. Obviously, it's been our supreme pleasure and good fortune to be part of these mini-concerts over the last couple of years. The guys ability to play at the drop of a hat has never been in question, and this two-minute ditty which happened backstage post-main-stage-set/pre-top-of-the-fort-video shoot exemplifies their bluegrass chops. When they started pickin' and pluckin' it was just for their own enjoyment, then people just start wandering over. Not the best video, but fun!...  read more
