The Civil Wars

Never paid them much attention ....... til now!

Amazeballs! 

I've arrived late to this particular party, what with them splitting up, but I'm now a fan! 

Perhaps that fact alone will inspire them to reform?

Never really listened to them much, but did quite like them doing this Elliott Smith tune.

Any chance to hear an Elliott Smith song, is a good thing:

First album is brilliant. Second, not so much.

They were SO shagging each other!

They are successful Nashville songwriters with this as a sideline as I understand it. Their performance on Later was a WTF moment for me having never heard of them before that:

I'm assuming that's 'Barton hollow'? ^

Bought the album after hearing that on later, loved it. They do some really interesting covers too.

That's when I first saw them on Jools Holland :-)
great duo, they met at a workshop event in Nashville and the rest is history. .. is a bit of a mystery why they split. ..but I think they had a thing together and they already had partners ! Shame and it certainly wasn't an amicable split X_X

yes. I hate the post a YouTube link without naming it and then it makes no sense to anyone on a mobile thing. But, yes, Barton Hollow.

Didn't realise they'd split! I heard them interviewed on radio and they played a live track. I was really impressed and bought the album. A couple of months later they were on Jools. Their voices are so similar it's hard to believe they aren't related.


And yeah, they must have been shagging, the body language between them is incredibly intimate. Can't blame the guy though, she just oozes sex.
