A versão é bem direta, mas a mera combinação [...]

Enjoy Seth Avett's solo acoustic cover of the 1997 Either/Or cut "Angeles" above, and head over here for a host of clips he has shared on YouTube.
The boys from Concord, NC lay down an emotional and moving tale of two lovers reuniting. And of course, love wins out in the end.

I made this mix over a year ago and I'm still listening to it, so I figured it was worth sharing. Heartbreak is possibly the number two topic of music (number one being love in general) in my estimation. It certainly creates a feeling you'll never forget; that one where you don't think life will go on. It does, but here are some songs to help get you through.

By Emily J. Minor I live with two grown men who are gaga over music. Our son , now 20, was getting an music allowance back way back in early middle school. Forget cash for taking out the garbage, how about another Gorillaz download? My husband - Mr. After Hours Music Proprietor Marty Minor himself - has resisted the iPhone for one simple reason: he couldn't put all his music on it. This might seem like one of those "blessings" all the hyper-happy like [...]

The Avett Brothers ' distinct type of folk bluegrass country rock is almost perfectly designed for summer, so it's only appropriate that the brothers from North Carolina would spend the warmer months with sweat-drenched fans.

The whole ride kicks off following the band's spring tour and a whole slew of festival appearances, and includes shows in Washington, Las Vegas, Utah, and Hawaii, along with a two-night stop in California at Oakland's Fox Theatre.
