Even though the tempo of this cd is relatively hushed, "The Gleam" becomes more attractive with each listen. It took me a week to fully like it. I was immediately enamoured with 'Backwards With Time', 'If it's the Beaches', and 'When I Drink'. The lyrics on "The Gleam" are clever and at times heartbreaking. There are all kinds of anomalous sounds going on as well: flamenco guitar style, a few notes of a xylophone, an impassioned violin, folky harmonica, piano, and a few moments of falsetto vocals.
Be patient with this cd and it will eventually reward you with good feelings. However, a first time Avett Brothers listener should start elsewhere.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Could be Better
I've had this disc almost a week and I am still a little uncertain about it. I was immediately enamoured with the quirky 'Backwards in Time', the emotional 'If it's the Beaches', and the playful 'When I Drink' but I just can't bring myself to accept the other three songs on the disc. On 'Backwards in Time', when Scott asks, "Am I going backwards in time" I couldn't help asking the same thing. This cd sounds like the Avetts are caught between their first cd, "Carolina Jubilee" and their second one entitled "Mignonette". I was hoping "The Gleam" would continue with some of the more remarkable sounds from "Four Thieves Gone" (Colorshow, Talk of Indolence) and use that to create something even more exciting and experimental, but it didn't. "The Gleam" is not a total failure because the lyrics, singing, and instrument playing are all in fine form, but it's the arrangements of the songs and some of the lackluster melodies that turn me off.

On their 2007 outing, EMOTIONALISM, the Avett Brothers offer up an engaging set that mixes a charmingly old-fashioned acoustic aesthetic with an almost punk-like immediacy. Consisting of North Carolina siblings Seth and Scott Avett (primarily guitar and banjo, respectively) and Bob Crawford (upright bass), the trio shares vocal duties and rarely employs percussion, giving the rootsy album the laid-back feel of a back-porch bluegrass jam session, a vibe that's embodied by the jangly and melodic "Will You Return?"

| | Avett Brothers Second Gleam CD (2008) Digipak; Extended Play
Gleam album
$8.45 
In 2006, North Carolina alt-country act the Avett Brothers released an EP called THE GLEAM featuring a considerably more stripped-down feel than their earlier records had. Recorded simply and quickly by Seth and Scott Avett (without bassist Bob Crawford, the third member of the band's official lineup), THE GLEAM felt closer to vintage country duos like the Louvin Brothers than to the sometimes manic punk-infused spirit of albums like A CAROLINA JUBILEE. Two years later, THE SECOND GLEAM is another EP's worth of stark acoustic tunes, and is ...
| | Avett Brothers I And Love And You CD (2009)
Gleam CD music
$11.25
North Carolina sibling duo the Avett Brothers return in 2009, fresh off a few years of building a cult following for its melodic and rootsy alt-bluegrass sound, with the subdued I AND LOVE AND YOU. The opening single and title track basks in piano-pop splendor in an odd mix of Beach Boys, Byrds, and the Band.
The Avett Brothers continue charting the same musical course as EMOTIONALISM and MIGNONETTE on major-label debut I AND LOVE AND YOU, despite the presence of hands-on producer Rick Ruben. The country-folk duo continue to add elements of pop and hillbilly rock to a country/bluegrass foundation on the 2009 LP, a record with a newfound emphasis on piano and nuanced arrangements. Working with a larger budget allows the group to add small flourishes -- a cello line here, a keyboard crescendo there -- but the resulting music is rarely grand, focusing on textures rather than sheer volume. Scott and Seth Avett share vocals throughout the album, delivering their lyrics in a speak-sing cadence that sounds both tuneful and conversational. Given the opportunities presented here -- the ability to flank their melodies with string sections, organ swells, and Harmonium -- the two devote more focus to slower songs, eschewing the barn-burning bouncefests of their previous albums for material that better displays such sonic details. The result is an intimate, poignant album, laced with rich production that enhances, not clouds, the songwriting itself.

$15.85 | | Johnny Cash Hey Porter CD (2000)
Gleam songs
$6.99
A selective compilation of hits under the umbrella of Johnny Cash's 1980 induction into the Country Music Hall Of Fame, this set collects 1950s Sun-era songs like "Hey Porter," "I Guess Things Happen That Way," and "Thanks a Lot," displaying the artist's steady development throughout his years with the label.
Although you wouldn't know it from the title (or the generic liner notes), this is in fact a collection of tracks (some familiar, some less so) that Johnny Cash cut during his late-1950s tenure at Sun Records. Some of the songs here ("Guess Things Just Happen That Way," "Ways of a Woman in Love") are obvious post-"Ballad of a Teenage Queen" attempts at pitching Cash to the teenage market, hence the presence of Jordanaires-style backing vocals and plinking piano. Other ...
