2013 Grammy Award Winner for Best Country Duo/Group Performance "From This Valley!"
Three-Time Grammy-Winning Duo Delivers Self-titled Second Album On 180g Vinyl Double LP... Includes CD!
Features "The One That Got Away" & "Dust To Dust"!
In some ways, music doesn't get much more modest or minimalist than it is in the hands of 3X-Grammy Award winning duo The Civil Wars, comprised of California-to-Nashville transplant Joy Williams and her Alabaman co-songwriter, John Paul White.
The Civil Wars have won "Best Song Written For Visual Media" at the 55th annual Grammy Awards for their collaboration with Taylor Swift and T Bone Burnett on "Safe And Sound" from The Hunger Games soundtrack. This latest honor adds to an already widely successful few years for the duo, who won "Best Folk Album" and "Best Country Duo/Group Performance" at 54th annual Grammy Awards and "Duo/Group of the Year" at the 2012 Americana Music Association's Honor & Awards. "Safe and Sound" was also nominated for a 2013 Golden Globe Award.
Following their critically acclaimed and certified RIAA Gold debut album, Barton Hollow, The Civil Wars release their highly anticipated, self-titled second album. The Civil Wars was recorded in Nashville between August 2012 and January 2013. Charlie Peacock was once again at the helm as producer for the album. Additionally, Rick Rubin produced the duo's performance for the track "I Had Me A Girl" in August of 2011. Peacock later completed the track by producing the instrumentation and mix.
"Midway through the album, the contemporary hymn 'From This Valley' provides a respite from the dangerous, even occasionally funereal, tone and showcases what may be roots music's best male/female vocal performance since Robert Plant and Alison Kraus twined their disparate voices on Raising Sand. Intimate yet divided, the album alternates between mournful ballads and bluesy rockers, with some country-pop thrown in for good measure." - Caleb Caldwell, Slant Magazine, Rated 4/5 Stars
