The Civil Wars

  I may be late to the party in loving this duo, but good God do they sing beautifully. I hadn't heard of them until their recent appearance on the Grammys and I fell in love with them immediately. Now I can't stop rolling through their catalog. This may be my favorite tune of theirs, but "Barton Hollow" and "Falling" and "Poison and Wine" are also amazing. I don't even know how to quite categorize them. They're a bit Country, a bit Folk, a bit Pop. I don't care, I love their sound. If you're already a fan, good on you. If not, give them a listen and enjoy.
