The Avetts' major label debut confirms what the group's zealous fans have known for years: They pen anthemic, heartfelt tunes that wander the back roads between Americana and emo pop. Produced by Rick Rubin, I and Love and You dispels the nagging myth that the Avett Brothers are better live. A decade from now there will exist an entire generation of 20-somethings who will wax nostalgic about living, loving and crying to this record back in their high school years. It just has that feel.
