The Avett Brothers - “Murder In The City” (2008)

Looking back on 2009, this song (and video) was probably my favorite musical discovery of the year. I think it’s just about perfect, and it still gives me chills every time I listen to it.

FWIW, the Avett Brothers’ new, Rick Rubin-produced record is pretty good, too. Talented fellas, they.

Thanks, Merlin - I hadn’t heard these guys before. This is lovely.
