I’ve probably posted this before but it’s just such a great song.
The Once and Future Carpenter, by the Avett Brothers
I’m such a dork, I asked Lyle Lovett what he thought of the Avett Brothers because something about how really sincere and friendly those guys are really reminded me of Lovett. He told me he liked their music a lot. So that’s cool.

This reminds me of Glenn Frey meets the Kingston Trio (none of that is intended to be disparaging in case anyone wondered).
In general, from say the middle 90s on, there was a lotta really really good alt-country stuff out there, but I can’t think of any of the acts that ever made it really big. I suspect that really was a case where the music, especially the poetic content, was too sophisticated to play for mass audiences.Report
