Emotionalism is an album released in 2007 by folk artists The Avett Brothers under Ramseur Records. The album's widespread success launched The Avett Brothers into the national spotlight,[1][2] catching the eye of producer Rick Rubin who would go on to produce their next album I And Love And You.

Emotionalism was also the first album to introduce cellist Joe Kwon to their ensemble, who would become a permanent member of the band.[3]

The track Will You Return? is used as the theme song for the television show A Chef's Life.
