Enjoy the intricate phrasing and airtight harmonies of the Civil Wars: Joy Williams and John Paul White.

From multiple Grammy wins (Best Folk and Best Country Albums) to the The Hunger Games’ soundtrack, 2012 is a breakout year for the Civil Wars. Their meteoric rise is no surprise to those who have witnessed Joy Williams’ and John Paul White’s artful performances. Intricately woven phrasing and airtight harmonies mark the minimalist duo’s powerfully rendered murder ballads and astonishingly frank songs on the paradoxical nature of love.
