From **Rolling Stone**:
*Forever Just Beyond* is Clem Snide’s first studio album in five years and arrives after a crisis of conscience for Barzelay, who had to deal with a failing marriage, the dissolution of his band, and imminent bankruptcy. After seeing a video of Scott Avett singing one of his songs during an Avett Brothers concert, he took it as a sign to reach out.
“I had just hit this low point where I realized I couldn’t do it alone anymore,” Barzelay says in a statement. “I passed along a little message and a new song I wrote to the Avett Brothers’ manager, and Scott wrote me right back to say what a fan he was.”
With Avett onboard as producer and collaborator, they set about making what would become *Forever Just Beyond*. “I look up to Eef with total respect and admiration,” Avett said. “I hope to survive like he survives: with total love for the new and the unknown. Eef’s a crooner and an indie darling by sound and a mystic sage by depth. That’s not common, but it’s beautiful.”
Does Scott sing the harmony on this track? I listened to it once yesterday and couldn't tell.
Can't wait to check out the rest of the record. The Avetts' recommendations (or let alone something they produced) are always good. That's how I discovered Alela Diane.
Coming back to comment. Found this on Ebert's Wikipedia page. Great quote, and very "Avett."
>I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris.[118]

What song of his did TAB sing at a concert?
I could be wrong, but I think he's referring to "The Ballad of God's Love" from 11/16/2016 in Akron, OH.
HUGE
Mike Marsh plays drums on the record as well!

Eef is an amazing guy and one of my favorite songwriters and singers of all time. I'm so excited he's working with Scott now.
