The Civil Wars, Brett Eldredge release new music
The Civil Wars put out a self-titled disc through Columbia, the follow-up to the very successful "Barton Hollow," which garnered John Paul White and Joy Lynn Williams two Grammys. Charlie Peacock remains at the production helm, but the duo has been beset by an inability to get along.
Eldredge releases a self-titled disc as well, which contains the hit Don't Ya. Eldredge has released two previous singles with Raymond, a song about Alzheimer's Disease gaining airplay.
Fiddle player Amanda Shires may be better known these days as being in the band of her husband Jason Isbell, but she put out "Down Fell the Doves." Shires was born in Texas, but now lives in Nashville.
Fellow Texas native Cale Tyson is out with a seven-song CD, "High on Lonesome."

First and perhaps foremost is that Williams and White seem to be at professional odds. As for the material contained here, for the most part, it's about relationships that either have or ...
Upon first listen, The Civil Wars comes off like a more Southern version of She & Him. While She & Him draws upon classic pop elements, The Civil Wars is much more country and folk focused. Charlie Peacock produced "Barton Hollow," giving it a simple, sparse acoustic sound; one that is very different from the man's usual solo music or other productions (early Switchfoot albums, which are all comprised of sharp electric guitar rock, and his own solo work veers closer to blue eyed soul). ...
