Ain't Going Back To Barton Hollow

Who was that? Was the question that everyone asked themselves, when this man that looks a lot like Johnny Depp and a woman went on the Grammy stage this year to present Taylor Swift, and sang a bit of their own song to give everyone a taste of their own music.

I am happy to say, I already knew who “they” were. There sound is a little bit country, a little folk, and a little bit indie. Now, watch them perform their song “Barton Hollow” which at the Grammy’s left everyone asking for more:

Yes, of course I am talking about The Civil Wars. Joy Williams and John Paul White make up this outstanding duo who’s modest and minimalistic approach to music is what makes them stand out.

There song “Poison & Wine” has been featured on Grey’s Anatomy as well as in the movie Something Borrowed, and has made fans of both the show and movie go on a Google hunt to find out ‘who just sang that song.’ Even Taylor Swift is a fan of the duo, which led to a collaboration on the song “Safe & Sound” for the recently released movie, Hunger Games.

Their lyrics, their music, their voices give life to their songs, and people have taken notice. In the same Grammy awards that for the very first time many people were learning about The Civil Wars, they took home the award for Best Country Duo/Group. Now The Civil Wars have over 100K followers on Twitter and Facebook and over 500k views on their video for “Barton Hallow.”

At this moment this duo is up-and-coming, but mark my words, they are going to be HUGE!

Now go to your Spotify, go on YouTube, or simply watch the following videos, and start experiencing the wonderful music by The Civil Wars.
