Product Description:
The Avett Brothers release The Second Gleam; six new songs offered with the natural lyrical clarity and honest delivery that has become synonymous with their name. With this addition to their growing body of work, Scott and Seth Avett establish a series, while further separating their writing from the modern landscape of music, popular or otherwise. Following in the initial footsteps of the first Gleam recording, this second installment sings to the uncommon senses of the common man. The record walks calmly and powerfully among fragile and hard-learned themes of life and song, passing through loss, change, hope, death, dedication to family, late nights in the hospital, love as always and much more. At once plain and poetic, simple and complicated as those who will give their time to hear it, we find: The Second Gleam.
Album Description:
2008 release,the second in the American Folk rockers' series of Gleam EPs - entitled (appropriately enough) The Second Gleam. There are echoes of influence from the Band, the Burritos, the Everlys, early Beatles and beyond, but the music of this North Carolina family band refuses to be pigeonholed.

- killer cd
A little bit less rock than some of their other albums but probably the best album lyrically and instrumentally. definitely a must get from the avetts.

- Awesome Avetts
The Avett Brothers have done it again. Another collection of beautiful, rythmic songs that at times can bring a tear to your eye. I highly recommend this as well as the first Gleam. These songs are definately more mellow at times than the ones found in Emotionalism or Mignonette,but that is okay as they show a real maturity in their writing and composition. Well done boys! Keep it coming.
Rating: - It is great
This album is much quieter than their last, but is just as thoughtful and melodic as ever.
Rating: - Avett Bros talent shines throughout Second Gleam
Fell in love with this group listening to the Emotionalism. This EP is just as good. Murder In The City and Bella Donna are my personal favorites.

The Second Gleam (2008, Ramseur) The Avett Brothers' fourth studio EP. **1/2
The Avett Brothers are a definitive college-esque band. Hippie circles love 'em and they've got enough spunk to attact even offended ears, but on The Second Gleam, the energy is lost. That in itself is not the problem. In fact, if anything, it shows maturity. However, the material is just downright dull from start to finish. In fact, only on "The Greatest Sum" do soulful vocals actually appear, as the rest of ... Read More
