Leave Your Clothes On — I’ve Got All That I Can Take [video]

October 7, 2009

One of my favorite lyrics of the year. Here’s the Avett Brothers doing “Laundry Room” for My Old Kentucky Blog’s Laundromatinee.
Avett hair report:  Scott – shaggy top, no facial hair (his third-best look) Seth: short hair, Civil War beard (his top look! Keep up the good work, Seth!)

NPR Music covered the grapes out of Newport, so there are archived performances from heavy Vedge faves like The Avett Brothers, Gillian Welch, [...]

Outside Lands For Cheapskates!

August 5, 2009

Hey, young world, remember how I might just maybe have been complaining about having to pay $90 to see a band I wanted to see that was playing Outside Lands? Me neither.
Because the producers of Outside Lands (Another Planet Entertainment) are throwing some night gigs with some of the better bands you’ll find buried deep [...]

Thank You For Your Precious Time

May 18, 2009

Tom T. Hall, peoples!
Like many younguns of the 1970s, I got my first dose of Kentucky boy Tom T. Hall via his 1974 LP Songs Of Fox Hollow.  Even folks who never heard that album (and its tales of sneaky snakes and one-legged chickens) are familiar with the super-surple-y “I Love” (which, for all people [...]

I Will Rearrange My Plans And Change For You

May 1, 2009

I usually try to keep a pretty good variety going here in Vegetable land, so there haven’t been many artists who’ve been posted more than once or twice.
There are heavy and notable exceptions: Nick Cave’s various endeavors, George Jones, and The Avett Brothers.
See what I’m trying to say?

It’s Funny How I Have To Put It To Rest, And How One Day I Will Join It

September 17, 2008

Add to this their astoundingly passionate live shows, and [...]

I’m So Tired Of Being Wrong

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 [...]

Whatever

October 23, 2007

The Avett Brothers’ Emotionalism is my new favorite album. I was going to post a fine tune called “Shame,” but this song made me cry, so I am duty-bound to post it (so that the “Songs That Make Me Cry” category doesn’t languish).
Most of the other songs on the album have a slightly different [...]
