Here’s my second attempt at convincing you that the Avett Brothers’ new album is something really special. Previously I posted a video of them performing this song (please watch it if you haven’t), but here’s an mp3 to take with you and hug on your own time.
Will you love me still when we awake and the sanity is gone from my eyes?
The Avett Brothers – Paranoia In B Flat Major from the monumental Emotionalism
Mandatory Christmas Content – Why Don’t You Hang A Shining Star Upon The Highest Bough?
This is one of my favorite Christmas standards, and one of my favorite versions (even though it leaves out my favorite part about muddling through somehow). I think it has something to do with the way he sings “hang” in the last verse.
Lou Rawls – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

YESS!!! Such an amazing record. Everything i’ve heard from the is amazing. Gonna see them at the end of Feburary too! so stoked.
I regret not discovering them sooner. I think they’re my favorite find this year. They’re scheduled to play SF in April (at Slim’s — sorry, short people).
