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.

For Christmas my sister gave my dad (who also discovered this song this year) a photo frame with pictures of us kids and the line “always remember there was nothing worth sharing, like the love that let us share our name.”

He liked it.
