Any "The Civil Wars" Fans?

Very nice album, They broke up.

Hauntingly beautiful music.

I was not speaking of the Barton Hollow CD nor was I speaking of the Duo 'Civil Wars'. I was speaking of music assoicated with the Civil War and that era, and a lot of that is, Good Southern Church Singing.

Cheers

I also have "Barton Hallow" on both CD and vinyl. It is truly an excellent album. Great harmonies and a warm intimate sound. Recommended.

I have "Barton Hallow", its excellent. Very intimate music.

Another recommendation for the MLP Civil Wars discs. I had heard them before but they are also included in the recent MLP box set. A great listen all around.

Thanks for posting. The Mercury Living Presence Civil War discs 1 & 2 are worth a listen if you haven't heard them. Some of the most beautiful sounds I remember are of a capella voices streaming out of a Baptist church down in Dixie (Georgia) and that includes my years in NYC at classical venues. The human voice is capable of the profound, but more often than not we hear from it the banal and profane (v:

I liked the one they did with Taylor Swift, but I haven't get into their other stuff. I've got Barton Hollow in my queue for a serious listen.
