New Avett Brothers - "I and Love and You"

If you're as big of a fan of the Avett Brothers as myself, you're counting down the days until the Rick Rubin-produced LP I and Love and You is released. To tide you over, the Avett's have released the eponymous first single for all to enjoy. You can download "I and Love and You" here, which should help you get by until the full album is released on September 29th.

After a few listens, I'm really digging it, but I have to hear it in sync with the full album to truly appreciate it. The Avett Brothers are hitting the road pretty hard this summer, making stops in (almost) every major market (sorry Houston...) including festival stops at ACL, Forcastle, Outside Lands and Mulberry Mountain Harvest Festival. You can check out a full list of tour dates after the jump.
