The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars have officially split up ... for good.

The great mystery that sews intrigue at the root of 'The Civil Wars' is how two people who clearly don't get along can pretend with such conviction. The second album from this duo isn't tainted by disdain, contempt or ambivalence that hardens one's heart. In fact, it's more emotional than their Grammy-winning debut album. So clearly they're either brilliant actors, or they're in love.

The Civil Wars recently announced their forthcoming self-titled album. But unfortunately for fans of the two-person folk act, new music doesn't signal that Joy Williams and John Paul White have patched things up.

The Civil Wars have released a new single called 'The One That Got Away' and made it available to fans via videos on Vevo and YouTube. The gloomy ballad marks the return of Joy Williams and John Paul White after seemingly announcing their breakup last November.

Music fans all over the world were devastated when Grammy-winning folk duo the Civil Wars surprisingly suddenly canceled their tour last autumn. In fact, it seemed that the band was possibly over for good, although they hinted at new music in 2013. As of today, Joy Williams and John Paul White have made an exciting announcement about their upcoming summer album.

If you watched the Grammys this year, you saw Taylor Swift open the show as the leader of a crazy circus as she performed her hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together".  What some people didn't realize was that Taylor was also a Grammy winner, but for a song you may not have heard.

While millions of Americans were distracted by the election and polling results, some major news hit the country music circuit. Popular folk duo the Civil Wars posted a message on Tuesday (Nov. 6) that leads fans to believe that they might be breaking up.

The Civil Wars singer Joy Williams must be superwoman. In addition to constantly wowing fans and critics with her gorgeous vocals, the 29-year-old singer called giving birth to her first baby boy "a breeze." In a recent interview with People, Williams opened up about her labor story and what it's like to be a new mom to baby Miles Alexander, who was born on June 30.

Congratulations are in order for the Civil Wars singer Joy Williams and her husband Nate Yetton, who welcomed a baby boy into the world over the weekend. Miles Alexander, the couple’s first child together, was born on Saturday, June 30.

When you think of the folksy Americana duo the Civil Wars and the highly anticipated film ‘The Hunger Games,’ your mind likely jumps first to the Civil Wars’ popular Taylor Swift collaboration ‘Safe & Sound,’ which was the lead single from the soundtrack. But the duo has another song on the compilation, and this time it’s one they wrote on their own. You can preview the clip below.

While Adele stole the headlines during and after the 2012 Grammy Awards, a number of country artists are also enjoying the afterglow. Albums from Lady Antebellum and the Civil Wars enjoyed impressive sales boosts following the red carpet event of the year. The groups respectively earned the Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance Grammys.

The Civil Wars had quite a week. After winning two Grammy Awards at last night’s ceremony, one for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and one for Best Folk Album, the vintage duo also gave a stellar performance of their ever-popular tune, ‘Barton Hollow.’ Then, backstage after the performance, the female half of the duo, Joy Williams, spilled the beans that she and her husband/the band’s manager N
