The Avett Brothers sing "For Today"

The Avetts sing Chittlin' aka Jessica Lea Mayfield song

[@briles24]

My biggest fear if I were a musician would be The Avett Brothers covering one of my songs and revealing to the rest of the world just how much potential the original song held...

[@waynemcalister6271]

True. I've never heard them cover a song and it not be way better than the original

[@stormikillian7709]

haha!

[@danielpoblete984]

so many great covers by the Avett Brothers on crackerfarm, the prettiest thing is a great example of that

[@dalehughey6807]

Hard to explain it to regular people. Their cover of Angie absolutely blows The Rolling Stones version out of the water

[@johng92]

Best moment Ive had is covering an Avett Brothers song at an open mic in my hometown and papa Jim Avett was there in Concord,NC where we're from and complimented me on my performance.

[@lray7879]

jessica's mom told me jessica wrote this when she was 13 years old. incredible. the whole mayfield family is damned talented!

[@NotMe-vd9bs]

It’s become a standard at this point, what a perfect song!

[@bluezfire]

I've watched this so many times over the last seven years. Every time it still feels like slipping into a familiar, comfy pair of pajamas. The soul soothing it offers is priceless. Thank you so much for posting this here for those of us who keep returning time after time.

[@AWil64]

I'm the same. this song is to cathartic in so many ways.

[@jwilliamr86]

Great description

[@pudgyjofy]

me too

[@thadleach5611]

God Bless America and God Bless North Carolina.

[@officialmilitaryskate]

🙌🏼

[@candacewinfreyable]

I think I've watched this video 627 times. It's just that perfect.

[@gabemouritsen9532]

When I die & enter in the heavenly hosts will be singing this avett melody & we'll rejoice in one accord

[@batutah123]

This is beautiful. Both Seth and Scott look like they stepped out of 1975 in this video. :)

[@anthonyshats4427]

GOD i was here so long ago just turned 40 think i heard this 13 years ago tears fuck

[@karenpuffy9407]

This is what made me fall in love with the Avetts, love it so much!!!!!

[@yogatravels1]

Me too!!!

[@brodank]

I have watched this video a kabillion times and i JUST NOW noticed that there is a mirror at the end of the hallway!!!

[@baldandbikes4373]

Despite my best ambitions I get into the worst situations But here I am crystal clean

[@TheArtistJesse]

No fancy studio equipment, just pure tunes... love it :)

[@reneebilleaudeaux250]

Best Avett Brothers cover! When I hear or watch Jessica sing it I wish it was this version.

[@Valuegem]

Thank you Avett Bother's for taking me back to the gautier music My Grandfather use to play when I was just a child!!! Play the Hell out of that Gautier Music for me one more time!!!!!! D

[@immortalizer08]

i could listen this a hundred straight more times. and i think i will

[@tdock14]

I cannot stop listening to this version of the song! Im going to see them in concert in Knoxville this weekend!

[@jiveafro]

A daily dose of the avett brothers is so important i think.

[@joegrothe484]

Fuck this song has never spoke so much to me as much as it does now.

[@justingarman]

I would be honored if this band played one of my songs.. This band has turned me onto so much great music Langhorne Slim.. Jessica Lea Mayfield.. But there still my favorite! Thanks Avetts!

[@timmysmilesaloto2018]

This video made me a big fan...never missed a Pittsburgh Pa. show. Love Jessica Mayfield too

[@timmysmilesaloto2018]

Met her at Shendly Plaza show a few years back....Fucking G20 was going on that day...Almost fucked up the show

[@court1357]

the most talent i've seen for a long time, i love you avett brothers!

[@Nimno74]

Banjos, beards and halls of blue! That's one of the best covers I've ever heard!

[@bassoonsimmons]

ive watched this video a million times but i never get tired of it. there just so good i can go forever with just listening to them and they dont get annoying.

[@R2burde]

these guys just keep growing on me.

[@RunChknRun]

[@cmch2179]

I could not have said it better myself. Scott is so amazing in this song.

[@LostGingerAle]

Just rockin' out in a hallway, bein' badass. That's the way The Avett Brothers roll ;)

[@dimbee]

I'm perfectly happy with the Brothers being not well-publicized and not overly-played. I'm most happy being one of the few, though growing, that enjoy the Avett Brothers.

[@frogspit76]

Great tune, Ive had it in my head for days now.

[@italianfatty]

Mayfield.... and Avett Brothers. Amazing artists.

[@williamf.buckleyjr.1572]

[@nicolefletchermusic]

[@wwaldo2525]

Pure gold!

[@balertwine]

There's no Avett version on CD. Jessica Lea Mayfield a.k.a. Chittlin', wrote it at age 15. It's on her 2005 self-released CD "White Lies". I've got a few but you ain't gettin' 'em. BUT you can buy the full 10-song album on iTunes listed under her nickname Chittlin'. The same first version is on the 5-song EP "White Lies" the record company released. Her second version, slower and with Dan Auerbach playing xylophone of all things on it, is on her CD "With Blasphemy So Heartfelt". Get version 1

[@mike8903]

uguhh i hate when people say that. Jessicas version is equally amazinG! She freakin wrote the damn song give her some credit geez

[@pudgyjofy]

Of course Jessica's is better

[@KWILCOXKY]

Wow, have been listening to these guys for awhile and they have come along way and been thru a great deal since 2007. I'm thinking they only get better with age and hope they come back to Kentucky soon, as I want to hear them perform before my hearing goes away... : |

[@jerryhenry1074]

awesome band awesome song

[@onewayrider]

very nice!! one of my favorites now!!!

[@shakkkkkeittttt]

I love the sound of you walking away. I can see clearer & I'm getting closer to finding out just who I without you in the way.... (:

[@amorously]

this is so beautiful.

[@jamesteaster6677]

A 1 since day 1

[@joecoolmccall]

[@TheVeedubb]

i f*cking love this song!!!

[@alistair10]

Shauna, I can't say the last time I watched it, but the first time I did it was less than 1,000. Crazy, but I am happy for these hard hard workers for their success.

[@kelasman]

[@zitsos]

This song reminds me of the time me and my brother grew our beards out and played psuedo-bluegrass in a blue hallway with these two other dudes that were super jealous of us

[@ifeelfine72]

I still think of this comment sometimes.

[@balertwine]

This is a great song by Chittlin', ain't it? Take good care of her on the tour out West -- we're gonna miss her in Kent!

[@TheGuitarplaya14]

I'm gonna hear these guys tonight. ahh.

[@mothersfunn6900]

wow. This is AMAZING.

[@candacewinfreyable]

I love Jessica so much but this up tempo rocks!!!

[@hildyvanhefeweizen2762]

omg, that cracks me up. i have a safe with important documents, all of my photos and memory type stuff, my baby blanket and all my old crow medicine show tickets stubs, back up audio, etc all lumped together to grab in case of a fire. obsessed much? lol

[@BlueHandDan]

Seth is wearing all denim! Awesome

[@antsinmybed]

they could play in the sea or outerspace and still sound amazing.

[@elgroomez]

Well done!
