I Love The Bird and the Bee!

By far the most talented couple of boys out there in the Americana/folk world today. The soul and pain they put forth in their music makes it so you can see the actual ghosts Marcus sings about circling him, taunting him. The painful wails toward the end symbolize the realization, the turning point, where you become so fully and thoroughly miserable yet accepting it and appreciating your agony. That is what I personally love about Mumford and Sons. Their songs aren’t attempting to make you emerge from your depression or dark, manic places, but they permit you to stay there and let you come to feel everything that that plagues you and churns your stomach and keeps you up at night without being embarrassed with it. Very Wordsworthian and very powerful.

Mavis Staples did that album with Jeff Tweedy from Wilco and Uncle Tupelo fame. It is a great tune.

I concur w/ bursting enthusiasm for Mumford and Sons. My fav being ‘Little Lion Man’ – language warning. But, for those good w/ the language it’s a great one for singing loudly in the car!
