I have spent the last couple of days trawling through the threads, being a newcomer here. I see Dave Alvin mentioned, probably more than any other, not particularly on the radar this side of the pond. But being a huge fan of the rustic music and incredible harmonies of the Avett Brothers, I note they seem to be less than popular over there, or am I misjudging? I would be interested to know if they are in nfact popular over there, di they have fans stateside? Anyone seen them live?
Seems like they are building some serious steam Stewart. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that Rick Rubin had signed them to his Label 'American Recordings' and producing their next album. I think Rubin is a perfect fit for them.
