The Civil Wars
Self-Titled
As a writer, this is a duo I go to again and again. Their music inspires me to want to write better, simpler, more from the heart. It’s also great music to write to. Their melodies are haunting, their passion is so evident, in every single song.
The One That Got Away, Dust to Dust, Sacred Heart . . . all sublime. I love Barton Hollow too, their 2011 release. Poison and Wine and Dance Me to the End of Love (a Leonard Cohen song), are my two favorites.
My understanding is that these two have parted ways. It’s a shame, because their voices together are enchanting. However, as with others artists that part ways, I look forward to seeing, and hearing, what they do on their own. Their combined and individual talent is the stuff great music is made from.
