The Civil Wars November 1, 2012

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. Following the recent release of their debut album, Barton Hollow, the country duo won Best Folk Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 2012 GRAMMY Awards in February.

Each song is an intimate conversation, and with the bare-bones live arrangements fleshed out with just the barest of acoustic accoutrements, little can interrupt their gorgeous, haunting hush.
