Today I have another great love to share with you. Indie-Folk/Alt-Country is a bit obscure as far as musical labels and genres go, but I must confess this narrow and incredibly specific category of music has become the closest to my heart. This revelation took me, and those who know and share my extreme distaste for your average garden-variety (farm-variety?) country music, by surprise but I've come to embrace this unlikely love I've found - in great part due to The Avett Brothers. They're a small group of country boys, and that's exactly what they sound like. Ranging from soft, acoustic ballads to the loud and aggressive sounds of banjo-punk, (a term which I made up just now, but really is quite fitting) The Avett Brothers excel at crossing genre lines and fearlessly experimenting with their voices and an array of instruments, while always maintaining the feeling of genuine, oftentimes heartbreaking, emotion.
