The Civil Wars

In some ways, music doesn’t get much more modest or minimalist than it is in the hands of The Civil Wars, a duo comprised of California-to-Nashville transplant Joy Williams and her Alabaman partner, John Paul White. They travel without a backup band, and on their first full-length album, Barton Hollow, the bare-bones live arrangements that fans hear on the road are fleshed out with just the barest of acoustic accoutrements. Each song is an intimate conversation, and no third wheels or dinner-party chatter are going to interrupt that gorgeous, haunting hush.

Having heavily featured in an episode of Grey's Anatomy prior to their debut album release, notoriety came quickly and inevitably. This is before country-pop starlet Taylor Swift elected their song Poison & Wine as her "favorite duet" in her official iTunes playlist, saying simply that "it’s exquisite”.

You'd have to have something very important going on not to be there!
