I have seen The Avett Brothers twice, and they were two of the funnest shows I have ever seen. I also just heard one of the new songs, produced by Rick Rubin, and it was definitely toned down from their earlier work. Very good, but toned down. The early stuff was as close to a hybrid of Punk and Bluegrass as anyone has EVER ventured. At least the live stuff.
I'm stoked for the new album, to be sure...
