The Civil Wars have been getting me through my work
day. I saw them at the Lincoln Theater
here in DC, and they were wonderful. This
2011 Newport Folk Festival Concert via NPR was one of the first
things I heard from them. Then I decided to see them live. The friend I went with bought me their CD,
and it is a crime to listen to it. It
does not capture the energy of their live show.
Had I heard their CD first, I would not have gone to the concert. Sad
but true. Stick to the live stuff and pray that their next cd does them justice.
My favorites are Tip of My Tongue, Barton Hollow, and their cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean.
