Joy and John Paul Have Stolen My Heart

Credit to Puccimama for first telling me about this band.  Who knew the two of us would agree on liking folk/country?!

Saw The Civil Wars at the Vic Theatre last night.  They are simply a phenomenal duo and put on a fantastic live show.   The video below is from an earlier concert in New Orleans, but it was my favorite of the entire set last night in Chicago.  Most of their songs are solemn with heartbreak; "From the Valley," on the other hand, reminds me of an old, uplifting hymn you'd hear at Hurricane Camp Meeting in Tolu, Kentucky.
