I would say this is my song of the last few months. Sorry if the quality is suboptimal...someone sent me an mp3 copy which I burned to CD, but I later lost the mp3, so this is an AAC rip. It is, however, the only recording I've ever been able to find since it's not out on any albums yet.
The Avett Brothers - The Lowering (A Sad Day in Greenville Town)Yes, it's the source of my username. Yes, it is incredibly beautiful and sad. Yes, the rest of their music is just about this awesome too. I had the chance tto see them play a TINY little club near Chicago, and I was more blown away by the energy coming from 3 acoustic instruments than I have been by any other live performance, regardless of the number of amplifiers involved.
