discussion magazine talks about the civil wars

Every once in a great while, a band comes along and takes your breath away. It might be their melodies that attract you or it could be the way their harmonies gently float above the music. In some cases, it might be the warmth of the production or the emotional depth of the songwriting. Whatever the reason may be, it connects with you in a way that you wouldn’t have expected. The Civil Wars, a duo consisting of Joy Williams and John Paul White, are one of those bands.

Meeting at a songwriting camp, Joy and John Paul were initially focused on pursuing their individual solo careers. Once they began collaborating, both of them realized that there was something special in the way they worked together. With their solo careers on hold, the duo became The Civil Wars and began creating a body of work that is thoroughly modern yet embraces the rustic and weather-beaten sounds of traditional Folk and Country.
