The Avett Brothers & Bob Crawford Sing Closer Walk (with thee) In NYC

[@robincog4358]

About six years ago I saw the Avett Brothers and they opened with this song. I sang along loudly with my proudly backslidden self having growing up with traditional music in a fundamentalist church. A few months later I thought of it while sitting with my mom in her hospice bed. I brought this video up and played it while we had a little sing-a-long. That is the last thing we ever did together and I will cherish it forever. For six years whenever I am sad I'll play this video.

[@sarahbellum3578]

Whenever I’m sad, I play this video too❤❤❤ prayers for you

[@dannyastro87a]

I played and sang this version on my guitar to my child's great grandmother as she was on hospice. I have thr video on Facebook. I might have to upload it to here

[@jamezason]

@@dannyastro87ago for it! Sorry to hear about the loss. Better place now for sure

[@Papajankypot]

So sad, yet beautiful. Hope all is well.

[@reints74]

An album full of these songs, recorded pretty much as crude as this, would be a fan favorite without question. Why haven't they done this yet!!!

[@mattpickering5250]

four thieves gone has a similar, raw sound to it.

[@Doogle81]

I'm really hoping someday they put together a little gospel album of all their favorites!

[@Papajankypot]

I love you mom. RIP. God bless...

[@sisk61]

This is perhaps my favorite hymn of all time. The Avett Brothers happen to be my favorite band of all time..... Words cannot explain the excitement that fills my heart when i hear this!

[@johnniedig]

Arguably one of their best vocal performances. This is wonderful.

[@fourthdimensionaleye]

I love Bob. He really does bring a great harmony and soul to the group.

[@irishviking924]

I may not be a man "of god", but i enjoy listening to The Avett Brothers any chance i get. It's also good to see Bob again.

[@busybee4436]

Awesome! What we need is an Avett Bros gospel album, please!!

[@timothylewis2450]

Who with me my burden shares? ❤️

[@thevj001]

Singing along with you at my mother's hospital bedside tonight. You all are forever woven into the fabric of our lives...and of whatever follows. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@Matthew_Robert_Hunt]

These guys understand that it's about the moment, just as much as it is about the music.

[@pattidiane]

I truly enjoy your Gospel. I Love all of your music, but I appreciate these very much.

[@S0UL0NE]

I always wonder if majority of the Avett fans out there realize how amazing it is when a band from today's age busts out a song about Jesus. The Avett brothers, you guys are amazing.

[@Iddybud]

Aww, that's really pretty harmony. It's great to see Bob once again.

[@MsMaineLover]

This is just stunning. Could they be more beautiful?

[@BenjaminArmstrong1]

I think Bob sounds great on this one. It's cool to hear his vocals so prominent. I think he sang a lead part on one of the tracks off the Avett Brothers latest album too.

[@travelinblues89]

So great to hear the three of them close out the show in Pittsburgh with this song!

[@TheBrunohusker]

Never grew up with gospel as a Catholic in the Midwest but we sang this. Maybe with different lyrics but I love this. Wish we sang it more like this.

[@Margaritamix566]

I'm not even a christian and I absolutely love when they play this song. So beautiful.

[@dysonadams]

I believe in you

[@woollychaps]

Very glad to see Bob again! I hope this means good things for his littleun.

[@gcroush1]

I always say sibling harmonies are something special, and I think Bob has become part of the family! Amazing!

[@jackandjonlove]

I was just about to type a comment like this, so great that it was already there :)

[@ryanblevins5104]

11 people accidentally hit the dislike button. This is down right beautiful.

[@agratefulgirl]

Lol, so true, who in the world could dislike this beautifulness!

[@ElmerDurrer]

"daily walkin close to thee" sends chills down my spine everytime they sing it together

[@corrinalouise820]

Oh Good Morning! Thank you.

[@lizlapintora]

love the boys jammin with eyes closed just feeling the groove and being moved by the melody....awesome

[@tstrouserino]

Great catch! They are a hard working buncha fellas. Great video. I didn't yawn because I was rather excited to see it...

[@jennaberry2]

heard them perform this last night! absolutely beautiful

[@mexicanbarber25]

I saw this LIVE May 20th in PGH, best part of the show 4 sure. AMEN!

[@beccamathias8259]

I love Bob Crawford. He completes the Avetts perfectly.

[@zachsmthsn]

Man... Bob is so great. I hope he's playing the next show I attend

[@mms3192]

[@kingjam3siii]

I literally can not stop listening to this. So beautiful...

[@ryancather7242]

Awesome! Thanks and Amen

[@Josiahjjr]

Bob is a better singer than given credit.he needs to be heard more on your songs.

[@mandan221]

This made my entire week!! There's nothing these guys do that doesn't warm my heart.

[@susankg1970]

Three of the most handsome men alive! Amen.

[@kelseymacdonald5628]

so freakishly in love with these beautiful geniuses

[@busybee4436]

Awesome rendition of this classic spiritual. Hallelujah!! Praise the Lord!!

[@Papajankypot]

Yea, cool hand Luke. Badass movie!

[@piperlee]

Awesome. Just heard this at a show in Richmond for the first time. I really love when Bob sings with them. He's so endearing when he sings. Scott and Seth, of course, are masters. They're all so talented it makes my soul ache.

[@revpgesqredux]

i am a Christian, and i love this... in so many different ways :-)

[@taylorprock]

Same here. not religious in the least bit. But I LOVE hyms and I love gospel tunes. ESP when these fellas do them. Pearly gates is one of my favs, as well. LOVe you BOBBY

[@TWet3726]

Doin the Good Lord justice, thank you Avetts, Bob and Crackerfarm. God Bless y'all.

[@jerryvan6709]

Perfection. So beautiful...

[@emitree13]

I smiled throughout the entire song and i cant help but cry tears of joy(: so beautiful

[@Josiahjjr]

That bass harmony! Give us more!

[@joshuaobrien7034]

I just shed a tear... these guys are fucking awesome. Much love and respect.

[@bethyeatts9284]

I Love it when they do this song at their show. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The purest and most heartfelt music I've ever heard comes from this family.

[@JonPerez360]

Never been to one of their shows, but hoping to attend one soon!

[@loganzangels]

I can not wait for the Grand Prairie show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@judyyama]

I LOVED THE HARMONY of the THREE SINGERS!

[@kerryrobertshaw8915]

Let it be dear lord, let it be.

[@beccamathias8259]

This is my favorite video on the internet. With the exception of the video of Seth singing "Movin' Out".

[@bluegrassy1]

Amazing. I love it and also cannot stop listening and singing along.

[@russkendrickmartin7257]

I love these raw live recordings. The Avett brothers have mastered this type of video.

[@dtapia92]

Yes!!! I love this, oh how I hope they play this when they are out here in Los Angeles. They played when they opened for Social D, it was such a surreal experience to hear them play that in front of some many people who most likely wouldn't listen to that kinda music. Thank you for playing it for those of us who love it. God bless you Avett Brothers

[@mybackpages6]

One of my favorite songs they do, and I'm not religious by any means. So lovely.

[@ggirlky]

thank you!!! Great way to start the day!

[@wuthering72]

What amazes me is that Scooter falls right back into perfect harmony even though he's clearly ready for bed.

[@Yoloddydoddy]

Lovely. Thanks!

[@TWet3726]

I got chills when they sang this in Columbus 2 weeks ago. As soon as Bob started singing the crowd went wild. Chills man, just chills.

[@n2extreem]

This is gorgeous

[@bryanMabe7238]

Awesome Video, I love these guys

[@jeromebakerboyz]

For Memorial Day 2012. BEAUTIFUL!!

[@marticiawall1569]

When the falsetto chimed in I heard the Carter Family in my head.

[@lottieberkstresser3117]

Amazing

[@angelabackstrom4903]

[@AnisaA]

HAHAHA I love Seth's switching from low bass to high falsetto and then back. What great voices, all of them.

[@psychoslayer6808]

God I love them..

[@canneholladay7063]

Play this in Auburn next week!!!

[@TermiteUSA]

Hope you boys are well.

[@sisk61]

Does anybody else want to hear the Avett Brothers play "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" or John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High"? I think it would be earth shaking...

[@arnoldwegstern5124]

Marvellous. Martin Schmidt-Hahn with his famous clarinet-sound would fit in this band as well

[@g.saintlouisddeanhardin2089]

Ryan, "on accident" of course? or could they be traitors or alien invaders? You would have to be satans' spawn to "dislike" this? THANK YOU FOR CREATING, POSTING AND SHARING THIS HISTORIC AND MORALLY STRENGTHENING MUSIC. God Bless and A Dios, the ONLY practical, functional and sustainable way to go.

[@littleamigo1021]

Jim Avett and Family- A cd they did with their father and sister

[@fenderjam317]

I want the title of this too just be The Avett brothers, bob is an avett brother.

[@donhan8821]

[@michaelabuckwalter]

10/10 would recommend
