In a totally un-Austin related post...and since I have your attention...
Just came across the newly released "Murder in the City" video from the Avett Brothers. Kind of funny because my Austin lady friends and I have been discussing murder in the city for about a week...more specifically our fear of it because at heart we are all small town girls. So, at first it made me chuckle to hear this song again. Then I paused and got a bit teary-eyed. It's the "Avett Brothers' Spell" as I like to call it. Boy, does it ever spellbind me. So, please take a listen to a beautiful song done by 2 of my favorite musicians (and fellow North Carolinians). This is from Gleam II and it's a peak into just how well their penmanship with simple, emotional songs is. Be sure to watch and check out The Avett Brothers - they have much greatness ahead.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention in my Ryan Adams post that he, as well, is from ol' Carolina. Maybe I should just focus on all the great NC musicians this month, I could probably go on and on with my favs....Nina Simone, Doc Watson, Tift Merritt, Ben Folds, James Taylor, Charlie Daniels, Earl Scruggs, John Coltrane, Loudon Wainwright III...okay gotta stop now...
