Avett Brothers - Swept Away (Sentimental Version)Album: Mignonette [2004]
the avett brothers' music has roots in traditional folk and bluegrass, but also captures the high spirits and no-boundaries attitude of rock & roll. americana with attitude is the best way to describe the avett brothers' music - a sublime blend of folk, country, hillbilly, and blues, swirled through with pop, rock, and a touch of wry punk. this song hails from their lengthy and ambitious fourth studio album, "mignonette". love seems to be the paramount emotion of most of their songs. from lullabies to rousing singalong party pieces, the band continues to pick their way through america's folk styles, and deliver them in ways you wouldn't expect, all wrapped around lyrics, sometimes witty, sometimes dead-serious, but all delivered with the band's signature intensity. "mignonette" is a fabulous album from a band that just keeps getting bigger. after tons of releases including live albums, EP's, and side projects, they reached a new level of popularity with 2007's "emotionalism", their first album to make a dent on the billboard charts.
