While it's not terribly unusual for North Carolina acts to crack the Billboard 200 album-sales chart, it's pretty rare for them to place more than one record on there simultaneously. But Concord's Avett Brothers turn the trick this week.
The Avetts' major-label debut "I and Love and You" is still hanging in there at No. 54 after debuting at No. 16 two weeks ago; and buzz from that has pulled the Avett's self-released 2008 mini-album back onto the chart. "The Second Gleam" comes back in at No. 139, after debuting at No. 82 in its chart run last year.

Not that I have any aversion to paying full price for the Avetts--I can't seem to get the new album out of my player. It's fantastic.
