#MusicMonday- The Civil Wars

Joy Williams and John Paul White, the duo known as The Civil Wars, are currently involved in their own civil war- they aren't even speaking. Which is sad because they should be out promoting their amazing, new self-titled album.

You can hear the growth and turmoil in the music and it is heartbreakingly beautiful. The Civil Wars seem to capture the magic of yesteryear's music while remaining relevant- they manage to give the idea of the "new South" a solidified sound. And we can't get enough.



Joy sounds like an angel and John Paul sounds like a real man, not a boy who thinks he can. We highly recommend "Same Old Same Old," "The One That Got Away" and "Tell Mama" (a lovely cover of the Etta James classic).

Enjoy! xx.
