Album Description
There is no harmony like brotherly harmony. Something indelible in the weave of voices and play of sensibilities is stamped into the fraternal DNA and also stems from a lifetime of shared experiences. You can hear it in classic brother acts across the musical spectrum, from the Louvin Brothers to the Everly Brothers and on down the decades through the Wilson brothers (Beach Boys), the Davies brothers (Kinks), the Allman Brothers and even the Brothers Gibb (a.k.a., the Bee Gees). You can clearly hear fraternal magic at work in the songs of Scott and Seth Avett, better known as the Avett Brothers, as well.

That magic is abundantly evident on I and Love and You, the Avett Brothers' big-label debut, produced by Rick Rubin. Its 13 songs are delivered in a style that defies pigeonholing but might be described as a rootsy amalgam of folk, country, bluegrass, rock and pop - even a jab of punk-style dynamics here and there.

With I and Love and You, The Avett Brothers have taken a giant step forward.

Robert Hilburn, October 2009
"The album's opening lines invite you on a journey that touches on the kind of youthful awakening that has been at the heart of best bands, from The Band to U2"

"Moving and smart, catchy and warm -- it's a band anyone could love."

"They have always evoked The Band's Music From Big Pink, but this albums epic sweep and dramatic lyrical imagery enlarges that influence to the scale of arena-rock sing-alongs."

Paste, September 2009
"The Avett Brothers are experts in mining the heart and soul of the modern American man."
