I found out the Civil Wars from a movie posted on then-Twitter about a decade in the past. Their harmonies and unmistakeable chemistry just ooze by means of their songs. Regrettably, the duo split in a fiery wall of flames — or it’s possible a chilly, icy wall — again in 2013 following they canceled their 2012 European tour. Pleasure Williams and John Paul White went their independent techniques and have absent on to make many solo albums.
As significantly as any person is aware, they haven’t spoken because they wrapped the recording of The Civil Wars LP in 2013. Their solo albums are just fine, but when they were being together, they were bigger than the sum of their areas.
This was one particular of the last video clips they produced from that album. Maybe it speaks to the conflict they experienced on the street, or probably there was far too substantially chemistry and expertise in one particular space. Who understands? They’re not chatting.
Pleasure Williams hosts a podcast on Apple and John Paul White is touring in the US with his newest report, but The Civil Wars is continue to just…impressive, if even for just the shorter time they ended up alongside one another.
