The Civil Wars debut album Barton Hollow is filled with tales of love, loss, and longing that find a way to burrow deep into your soul immediately when the first note hits. Comprised of singer-songwriters Lucinda Williams and John Paul White, the pair inexplicably find a way to tug at the tender notes of romantic despair in a way that only a male-female duo truly can, breathing life into minor chord arrangements with husky deliveries and soaring harmonies that illuminate the emotional depth found in each song. Barton Hollow is a treasure trove of cult classics that fit perfectly for a rainy day or a nostalgic walk through memory lane of lovers that left too soon.
Standout Songs: “Poison & Wine”, “Falling”, “To Whom It May Concern”, “Birds of a Feather”
