Civil Wars' Williams, The National's Berninger turn it up on new song
Friday, April 4, 2014 – "Hush," a new song by Joy Williams of The Civil Wars, Matt Berninger of indie rock band The National and producer/writer Charlie Peacock, will be featured as the theme song for the new AMC drama "Turn."
The show premieres this Sunday at 9 a.m. eastern. In addition to creating the song with Williams and Berninger, Peacock produced the music for the title theme. Peacock also produced The Civili Wars.
"I've been a big fan of AMC for years," Williams said. "When I was filled in on the premise of 'Turn,' and when I saw the pilot in advance, I was hooked. I leapt at the chance to create something original, and I'm so glad I was able to collaborate with Charlie Peacock and Matt Berninger to contribute to this stellar show."
"I was excited about this show from the second I heard about it, so it was a big thrill when Joy asked me to help write the theme song," Berninger said.

CD reviews for The Civil Wars

Including Billie Jean should come as no shock to anyone who has seen them live because this was a staple in their live gigs (although probably a surprise if you hadn't seen them before). The Michael Jackson song ...
One gets the distinct sense that there's a storm a brewing on the jacket of The Civil Wars major label debut. It appears that a huge plume of black smoke is all that remains. And that depiction may be most accurate in a number of ways for The Civil Wars, the duo of Joy Williams and John Paul White. 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). ...
