The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars are a four-time GRAMMY Award winning duo consisting of Joy Williams and John Paul White. Their sophomore self-titled album was released on August 6 on Sensibility Music/Columbia Records. This is the follow up to duo’s acclaimed debut, Barton Hollow, which is now certified RIAA Gold in the U.S. 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. The album was recorded amidst a grueling touring schedule, exhausting workload and a growing disconnect from their families.
