Image via WikipediaI am a big fan of the Avett Brothers and all of their southern, frayed, traditional meets rock, edgy, artsy and melodious offerings. Their new EP The Gleam II has hit the street as a stripped down folk offering. All but one of the 8 tracks even includes electric instruments and even then, "The Greatest Sum" is offered up in both acoustic and electric format.
The Avett Brothers have once again offered up a great release and one of my favorite blogs The Aquarium Drunkard has given review. So, go see what is inside of The Aquarium Drunkard's review of The Avett Brothers Gleam II.

Charlie Louvin Still Rollin'
Pitchfork Media has a nice report on Charlie Louvin and his upcoming works. Yeah, works. He has two albums due out in the second half of this year including a gospel album titled Steps to Heaven and Charlie Louvin Sings Murder & Disaster Songs. All the details can be found at the Pitchfork post including the origin of the songs for the latter project and Louvin's appearances. After the article you can jump over to Louvin's Myspace page for some tunes.
As half of the Louvin Brothers, Charlie Louvin (born Charlie Elzer Loudermilk, July 7, 1927) was one of the most influential musicians of the \'40s and \'50s; the Louvins defined close harmony duet singing for several generations of country fans. After the Louvins disbanded in 1963, Charlie began a solo career, recording for Capitol Records until 1972. During that time, he had two Top Ten hits -- \"I Don\'t Love You Anymore\" (number four, 1964) and \"See the Big Man Cry\" (number seven, 1965) -- as well as a series of minor hits. Louvin continued to perform and record for a variety of labels well into the \'90s. The eponymous Charlie Louvin was released in 2007 on the Tompkins Square label and featured a cast of characters that includes George Jones, Elvis Costello, Marty Stuart, Tom T. Hall, and Jeff Tweedy.
