The Civil Wars


The Civil Wars were featured as one of the "Best of What's Next" in Paste Magazine.
And i couldn't agree more. What soulful harmonies.
There's no Civil Wars going one here, it is just too harmonious.
The Civil Wars are Joy Williams and John Paul White.

They have a new album out on February 1st called "Barton Hollow", and this is one of the songs from it.

Last.FM says: The Civil Wars consists of the fantastic John Paul White, hailing from Florence, AL and the lovely Joy Williams, originally from Santa Cruz, CA, but now residing in East Nashville. The duo’s chance meeting a year and a half ago fueled an immediate songwriting chemistry and creative synergy. Their second show ever, performed at a sold out Eddie’s Attic, was recorded and released as a free digital album.
