The Avett Brothers "I and Love and You"

The Avett Brothers have been recording since 2000 but this is their major label debut. They already have a huge following in the South, due to their mixture of musical genres: rock, folk and bluegrass. I initially was reminded of Kings of Leon, but that was more a jumping off point. They borrow the same southern rock influences but that's about where the similarities end. Whatever it is, it's good.
