Sugar with a Touch of Spice: A Gentle Blend for the Musical Pallette

This is a beautiful song, which was performed live at my alma mater in 2008. In many regards, I was a late-comer on the Avett Brothers wave, only truly getting into their music last fall. But, the more I explore, the more I am taken aback by the depth of their lyrics and by the tender, stripped down nature of songs like this one. Take a sip of their music, and you might leave with a hint of lemon on your lips; drink deeply and the flavors will meld in your mouth like a fresh glass of carefully steeped sweet tea that slowly burrows its way into many a southern repertoire. Enjoy!
