It’s no secret that we here at Ice Cream Man are big fans of The Avett Brothers. In fact, they were one of the bands we were most excited to get for Road Trippin’:
What you may not know is that many of us also have an affinity for G. Love, making the announcement of his new album, that much more exciting. You see, the album is produced by and features two of the Avett Brothers, Scott and Seth. To be released on February 22, Fixin’ to Die is a country/blues inspired album featuring many original tracks as well as covers and traditional songs.
From the press release:
“It was an emotional recording session and I was truly blown away by the level of focus, care and passion Scott & Seth brought to it. It was a tremendously positive and encouraging experience. This is the most inspired I’ve ever felt making a record,” G. Love said.
As Scott Avett says, “There’s a little bit of this record on all the previous G. Love records, you just had to look for it. This is the record we all knew he should make and he could make, but again, he had to open himself to the core to make it. That’s the difference.”
G. Love will tour the U.S. extensively in support of Fixin’ To Die in 2011.
