Mumford and Sons, Sigh No More

In the last year I discovered The Avett Brothers and consider them one of the best bands I have heard in quite sometime. Tuning into the Grammy Awards a few weeks ago we were looking forward to the set with Bob Dylan and The Avetts and were just as interested in our first exposure to Mumford and Sons.

When Amazon cooperated and had this album as a feature bargain album this past weekend and have listened to it several times.

It is wonderful. A sure similarity to The Avett Brothers in style is apparent but the voice of the lead singer actually reminds me on some notes of the lead singer of Blue October. It is clearly very interesting.

Songs such as Little Lion Man, The Cave, and Awake my Soul are clear and accessible. Most of the songs on the album use melodies and lyrics that are strong to make the point.

It is hard to describe. If you are looking for Top 40 music, rap music, or something to dance to you are in the wrong place.

If you want something special and that will never become stale this is it.
