Best of 2007, number 3
The Avett Brothers, originally uploaded by tommy_74.
The Avett Brothers - Emotionalism. This is definitely one of the more surprising albums I bought this year. The Avett Brothers combine banjos, bluegrass, and classic rock influences into a most potent mix. Heart-on-the-sleeve lyrics complete the recipe, and they offer up quite a few surprises in the process, like the flamenco-infused "Pretty Girl From Chile." What I like about this, and the two CD's ranked above this, is how different they are from other music released this year.
