'With their banjo/guitar/stand-up bass lineup, earnest vocal harmonies, and back story growing up on a North Carolina farm, the Avett Brothers seem like the kind of old-time folk band that emerges almost literally out of the soil...
Many of the brothers' songs — "Murder in the City," "Will You Return," "Laundry Room" — are played on acoustic instruments, and they channel brooding Texas troubadour Townes Van Zandt and old-school Tar Heels Doc Watson and Charlie Poole. Their lyrics often assert old-fashioned values of family and tradition.'
