Country Was

The Avett Brothers

Stripped-back acoustic folk and dusty Americana. A quiet, unpolished collection of brotherly harmonies and porch-side storytelling from the band's earliest days.

January 1, 2002 · Not On Label (The Avett Brothers Self-released)

Find on Amazon

A gentle, unpretentious collection of acoustic stories that feels like a quiet conversation with old friends.
