Scott Avett sings, "Where have all the average people gone?" by Roger Miller

[@monicawilsonnn]

I always find my way back to this song

[@robinhollow4ever]

This might be my favourite video of Scott. 😺

[@jakelowrey7220]

I come back to this song more and more as I grow older.

[@JacobJohnsonTunes]

One of my favorite Roger Miller tunes, and definitely under appreciated. Great job!

[@Cubsrthegreatest]

Roger Miller easily cracks my top five country artists of all time! His lyrics were genuine and hilarious; Dang Me, Do-Wacka-Do, Chug-ug-lug, Oo de lally (he was the rooster in Robin Hood), and many more! I've seen clips of his show on here and he seemed like an amazing and funny guy. The fact that Scott does a cover of this song (discovered it today and glad I did) solidifies the Avett Brothers as my favorite band alive and top three all time!

[@johnwright2425]

I'm loving these Avett brothers. People let's gather round with instruments and lets play some music and sing together. Cant be wrong y'all. Keep it going Avetts and see you in Red Rocks come July.

[@sheenabaay9096]

"Funny I don't fit." I love this song and Scott is so good! *clap clap

[@russkendrickmartin7257]

One of my favorite Roger Miller tunes. Scott does such a nice job on it!!!

[@janeydear]

They give you 100% at their concerts. Nothin' like'em.

[@nickkoinismusic5643]

I love Roger Miller. Scott Avett singing him somehow makes this song even better!

[@joshporter08]

Yep, this is perfectly delivered country music 👍🏻👍🏻

[@hillbillyluchador]

Roger was such a great song writer. Amazing version of this one Scott

[@adamtakac3790]

Please put this on an album!!!🙏

[@TdunkMcFunk]

Yes i Was there as well it was a great show they did this song very well!

[@fastheartmartvideos]

Aww man, this is great. I love the Avette Brothers and Roger Miller and I've never heard this one :)

[@reints74]

man, you have no idea how great it is to hear a 14 year old say that! Gives me hope for our future... and I couldn't agree more.

[@ouitdee]

I agree, the Minneapolis show was awesome! Took the road trip to Chicago and they did this song again, they rocked the house! Their cousin played the drums on one of their songs, she played great!

[@hippiescummmmm]

Scott is so talented. He's my favorite Avett brother. He's gorgeous. And I love his beard! :)

[@Samandrosajonesar]

This is a great song !!! Thanks. Roger Miller had some great song !!!

[@lincolnmaceachern2410]

I don't think he wrote it, though.

[@RonnieK78]

Saw Scott perform this live tonight, incredible.

[@babsers]

Their last Chicago show is the first that I have missed them coming to Illinois in 4 years. :(

[@ncsonggirl]

I really like almost all of the music you post, but this will always be one of my most favorite versions of a song ever. Every few months, I get on a kick where I listen to this cover on repeat for a bit, and it never grows old. I

[@tammylynn8516]

YES!! I especially love their cover of The Prettiest Thing by David Childers..brilliant.

[@caitsherly]

they really need to come out with a covers album. So many amazing gems!

[@Just1Fry]

wow! this is amazing absolutely beautiful

[@jaspermatty]

Yes, Roger Miller was a genius.

[@jordanmerrick]

You know he (Miller) didn't write this song right?

[@jordanmerrick]

Dennis Linde was a genius.

[@banjobandit3270]

+jordan merrick Roger Miller was still a genius

[@oklahomahank2378]

Have you ever seen video of Roger Miller playing the fiddle? He was fierce.

[@iwannaratrod]

This song. It's me. Everyone seems so divided over this or that......and I'm over here shaking my head.

[@adamsmith4195]

Too much watching partisan news networks day after day , week after week, year after year. Listening to only those we agree with tell us that those that don't agree with us are stupid, hateful, insidious, or all of the above. It's an odd time in American history. Our society is wealthy and free with opportunities aplenty for those that want them bad enough. Even those at the bottom with little hope of rising have their basic needs covered for the most part. Most of the problems we have (biggest being healthcare) require a pragmatic approach. Trump is a lightning rod, but in all honesty, he is a symptom, not the disease itself. The hatred people have for each other right now is insanity.

[@kyleerickson6329]

If you think there are plenty of opportunities for everyone, you need to get out and see more of the country. There are tremendous opportunities for *many,* to be sure, but not nearly for all. There are parts of America that are basically like third world countries.

[@brandeeroberson8243]

What a beautiful authentic song

[@SteelyDanimal]

These words are even more true 40 years later

Beautiful and Touching.

You're a smart dude with good taste. You have many years of great music ahead of you. Forget about the "music business", "award shows", the radio.......lots of ways to access good music nowadays.

They get plenty of credit as do all good musicians. It's up to you to support them any way you can. Ignore the pop media circus and you'll discover so many wonderful musicians.

[@lizlapintora]

I feel they are way to proud of their beginnings to ever forget them.

Love me some Roger Miller.

[@SL04]

It's absolutely scary how much Scott looks like my dad at his age in this video. Same beard, same hat, same guitar. It's like a trip back in time twenty years.

[@undyinghope27]

He should visit NC more often. :-)

12 people have no taste in music!! i love to hear this man sing & this is a classic!!

[@countrynuno]

awesome!!!

[@kirkthecapt]

That's Country music there!! He's singing about his life! He didn't once mention a tractor, his boots, his pickup, his ex, or what his floozy of the week thinks of them. This song has meaning!

[@tomcroteau6034]

Just realized this is pretty much the same chord progression as Murdered in the City.

Thank you to crackerfarm ranch and the Avett Brothers for supplying us with one of the last doses of real music around and making time for their fans.

[@BoobyMcDoogle]

[@bobbydx44]

just enjoy them while you can, if they fall to the main stream ...it will change them. I hope that never happens to Avett like so many other good ones before them..

[@countrynuno]

amazing

[@pimpskinsnowsuit]

I've listened to this song a million and a half times. What is that cracking in the background?!! It sounds like someone playing with an empty water bottle. If someone was doing that while I was recording a song I'd flip out.

[@joestan0121]

he does a lot of these videos on a cell phone from his house. he has his kids playing around him in some of them. he keeps it real.

[@jendcox]

I think it's probably the floor or piano bench creaking under him. This is a Crackerfarm video, definitely not a cell phone video.

[@tlh235]

i just want to be able to do this...screw the money, the fans, the stardom. i just want this ability!!!

[@IanJD10]

scott has a dip in and hes such a good singer

[@bethyeatts9284]

I would still Love Scott Avett if he was singing the Mickey Mouse song, He just works magic with his talent. So Admirable and humble.

@krabbers London is sold out but, it looks like Dublin is still open if you are up that way... but if you are in London, you could catch a ride to the Paris Show...

Never would I have called myself,"average".Below-maybe,probably not.Above-maybe,probably not.If anything I would say,antiverage.I don't think that terms in Webster's,but it (sh)could be. But this song is the most relatable one I have heard in a long,long time.

For the record, this song was written by Dennis Linde (by himself) and first recorded by Roger Miller.

[@392guppy]

they don't need to cover mainstream shit they are pure the way they are stop me if im wrong

[@TABrmayes]

@AtomicHercules when i said that signs was the only one on an album i also stated in a following sentence that there was a chance that it could be on a live album. I know it was way over your head there but that implys that their live albums do have covers and that that would be the best chance to see this song. Obviously im not implying that they have no covers on any of their live albums, i would have to know nothing about them to say that. I apologize for confusing you.

[@jaredclements2589]

I wonder where he got the chord progression for "Murder in the City".... *Cough Cough*

[@NickB1967]

Roger Miller wrote it first I think?

[@aaronpowell8398]

And February Seven, and Once and Future Carpenter lol. They just capo on 4. Same exact song

[@frostbitecrew1]

I thought I'd never find a song that completely describes me
