More Thoughts on American/Columbia

As part of their new partnership with Columbia records, Rick Rubin will be producing the Avett Brothers' upcoming album. American records is Rubin's imprint on Columbia Records, and it was Rubin who famously worked with Johnny Cash in his later years, producing 4 of Cash's last records. In 2003 The Man Comes Around won a grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. Rubin's track record goes on for days. This is clearly a turning point in the Avetts' career, and I know many like me are enthralled at what Rubin can and will do with the Avetts' sound.
