The Civil Wars!

The Civil Wars | Joy Williams and John Paul White are The Civil Wars | The Civil Wars | @JoyWilliams,John Paul White
The Civil Wars free live EP has been in constant rotation in my car CD player for the last couple of weeks.  The Civil Wars are made up of songwriters John Paul White and Joy Williams.  They have great chemistry as songwriters and there voices compliment each other perfectly.   Songs like "Poison and Wine" and "Tip of My Tongue" have been stuck in my head, and they show off their refined songwriting skills.  I love the simplicity of the recording and that they included the witty stage banter pre and post song.  It makes you feel like you are at the show.  I am looking forward to getting their studio album and hearing what they come up with next.  Check them out!

  1. Never heard of them before - just checked them out... so fantastic!! I love the vibe of indie/folk music like this. My fav. has been Over the Rhine for the longest time, and Tyler James (who is a cousin to my cousins... and from HC. have you heard him? fabulous!)
