“As soon as I heard the depth in their singing and songwriting, I was in for the ride. The Avetts’ songs have such a sincere emotional resonance. The purity of the messages stops you in your tracks. It’s unusual to hear such open-hearted personal sentiment from young artists today”. - Citat Rick Rubin
