These guys have grown up. Maybe some of the selections on the new album are a little overproduced, but their hearts are still there. The poetry is still there. I love this album. You have to live a little to have anything significant to say.

[@Echzachtly]

Saw them live this week..... and I thought I was a fan before. Seriously do yourself a favor and see these guys live. It's magical.

[@tnwoodbutcher420]

Got to admit, As a Musician and a gainful woodworker, The Avett Brothers are quickly becoming one of my favorites. I often have them on the over head in my shop. Add Martin guitars,Beards, The south,and excellent songs, that... fellow youtubers... is the winning-est combination I can think of... I wonder if they'd like to sit down in my shop with me,some bourbon,couple guitars and some good conversation?...

[@CocoBSM]

Cant wait for September 11. The Carpenter is going to be the most beautiful album of The Avett Brothers

[@kdog1217]

[@hoss439]

cant get enough of this band, this song is one of the best ive heard in years

[@jessewestbrook9816]

It's still pretty awesome 👍🏻

[@JayJoJonny]

All the best for a well deserved Grammy for Carpenter.

[@talister106]

These boys are the real deal and enjoy their passion.

[@bgbreakdown]

I'm hooked. Love that bridge!

[@mseghers]

Let "the carpenter" settle in before you judge it. It is "slick" sounding but I can never really review an album until I have let it soak in. I trust these guys, and while not all that glitters is gold.. some of it is.

[@AlbertCoRecords]

"if I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die", good shit there. Fantastic performance.

[@SamShalaam]

Definitely no disappointment on my end. These guys are musical geniuses. Love the album guys. The WHOLE album

[@DavidOpdyke]

I can hardly type for the tears in my eyes... TAB rips my damned old heart right out EVERY single time...

[@TWet3726]

These guys and Justin Townes Earle are by far the best two acts of the AMA's

[@gilmunn4855]

I've run out of ways to say how much I love their music and talent.

[@kentuckywinter]

Yes, as a matter of fact, I AM obsessed.

[@0dogballs]

Mountain music baby! The Appalachians,a Methodist grandaddy,raised on Waylon and Tom T Hall-we grow the best tunes in the world.

[@grande0420]

they were just in oxford not to long ago.. maybe a few months ago.. That's twice they've been to oxford.. also just got done playing memphis in october!! gotta watch out for em!!!

[@PhillipSinkfilled]

Come to Memphis, Oxford, little rock? Just some place I could get to, your music haunts me, so real!

[@ericridenour3067]

True passion in thier lyrics. I love the harmony.

[@Minxsie]

Beautiful.

[@peggykunsman9990]

My favorite music video this decade.

[@Sporin]

One of my favorites from the new album (along with Down With The Shine). Enjoying the new album very much, but also looking forward to the inevitable LIVE version which is where I think the Avetts really shine.

[@joannaholder]

I feel that I, love & you was overproduced too and worst. Even though the Carpenter does have the overproduction sound I like it better. But live, they bring it back to their heart like we love. And it is wonderful that they let people record there shows so we have the opportunity to have both!

[@drice64]

This never gets old.

[@sobergg69]

Oh! Can't stop listening to this...going to to see Ed sharpe and zeroes in September! Now this This is Music!

[@emanderson09]

couldnt agree more! Loved The Carpenter. My only issue was the piano ending on this song. I was really hoping for that awesome guitar ending like I heard in videos on youtube.

[@TheOnlyKungFuMonkey]

thumbs up for Joe Kwon and his awesome outfit!

[@Karkar82]

You guys are such an important edition to all the popcountry music artists that are out there right now.. We need people like you who put rock/folk/country on the map :) :) Love you

His daughter has been having a lot of health issues in the past year so he isn't able to tour with them as much. My prayers are with them.

[@manayaz]

[@emanderson09]

The guitar ending is so much better then the piano ending they used on the album!

[@yourstudent]

Awesome...

[@loquat01]

@brianbf1986, I think this was during the time that Bob took a break to take care of his daughter.

[@joweyjo]

[@pauls772]

J'adore oufff!!! du folk a son meilleure.

[@TWet3726]

Seth just can't help but get dem legs going

[@garethmurphy8235]

IMO, this is just after TAB were at their absolute best. They were still damn good though and had every opportunity to keep it going. They were just coming off of I&L&U, and they were working from a catalog mainly comprised of this album (The Carpenter), the aforementioned I&L&U, Mignonette, Four Thieves and Emotionalism.. All incredible, genius level albums. Since then, other than a few bright spots on True Sadness it has been a sad, slow slog into mediocrity with the best word I can think of to describe how I feel about TAB is "gentrified" .... in every bad sense of the word.. When I saw them at Boston's House of Blues in 2009 I walked out thinking they might be the best active band in the world.. Just the core 4 members and it was a cacophony of energy and jubilation I had only ever seen at Grateful Dead shows....with every year that has passed and every show I have seen and every new album with Rick Rubin they have gotten further and further away from that amazing unique powerhouse they once were. Sanitized might be an even better word to describe them. It really has made me so sad to watch it happen because my wife and I were such huge fans and so excited for the future of TAB. I'm 50 and have never been more disappointed by a band. Endless potential pissed into the wind. I have nothing personal and don't even dislike Rick Rubin but (imo) he has clearly ruined TAB. Just look at their albums before and after he came into the picture... No comparison..

[@laotrasarah]

the carpenter is coming...are you ready?

[@Gingerjake2]

No, trust me, it's the older D35 he has. He only has 2 Martins including his signature D35. He also has an ancient Gibby LG1 which I learned on & a custom made guitar made for him by Jordan McConnell, guitarist for the Canadian band The Duhks. I have 3 Martins & live about 50 miles from the factory so pretty much have them all memorized by now! LOL!

[@immattlaramee]

is this a new song?

[@btmusicworks4607]

Alright someone help me out cause for some reason I can't figure this out. In tabs I found online it shows them going from a F major chord to an Fm chord during the first line of the chorus, and while that sounds right it doesn't like that are playing the standard barred version. Anyone know what chord it is?

[@adamsandone7936]

How about making that a top three with the Civil Wars?

[@ObjCDev]

:O Where's Bob?

[@emmemem]

I searched for this band because of Colleen Hoover's Slammed. Man, they're good

[@555bean555]

Americana folk/rock

[@xJUICEYxIsMyPSN]

What kind of guitar is Seth playing??

[@ursopodre]

It is an Fm chords :)

[@mbd62901]

Bob's daughter is sick, so he didn't tour for a while. Search the internet for info.

[@ladders.]

His daughter is very sick so he's been with her a lot this year instead of the band

[@xJUICEYxIsMyPSN]

no.... the martin D35 is different than this one. he usually plays a D35 though but this ones different

[@HiHoSilverfish]

The sound of Seth's guitar in this video almost ruins the performance for me, what was that sound guy thinking?

[@TallCrow1726]

seth looks completely different without his beard!

[@jodyvideo]

@iOgilviei Bob is with his daughter, who is ill.

[@Gingerjake2]

It's a Martin D35...

[@josephstevens7874]

i'm listening to an americana shuffle, and for some reason they killed the volume on this one. damn shame.

[@iOgilviei]

@wrichardwilson Where the fuck is Bob?

[@louDAY831]

Seth 1:04 :)))

[@PhillipSinkfilled]

Sorry posted on my husbands account, still meant what I said.

[@adamprevot5981]

No worries. Hope y’all are well

[@vikas200611130]

He does look like Ashton Kutcher with beard

[@MayorsOffice881]

Nah, Ashton Kutcher looks like him.

[@InPerfectClouds]

2 people in the world are delusional.

[@iOgilviei]

@Doogle81 Aw man that's awful.

[@JordanMerrickMusic]

The carpenter is a huge let down. This is coming from a fan whose followed them since the beginning. There are some gems on the album (This one, Down with the shine and winter in your heart) but there are some overproduced songs that lose the 'avett' feel that fans have grown to love over the years. It feels as if Rick Rubin has made them the new Kings of Leon. Before people flame me, listen to live versions of Down with the Shine and this song, then listen to the album versions. Overproduced
