The Civil Wars’ highly anticipated sophomore album was released August 6th, 2013 on Sensibility Music/Columbia Records. The self-titled album is the follow up to the three-time Grammy Award-winning duo’s acclaimed debut, Barton Hollow, which is now certified RIAA Gold in the U.S. The Civil Wars debuted at #1 atop the Billboard Top 200 chart in the US, despite the band’s hiatus from touring.
Mixed by resident engineer, Tom Elmhirst, the album has been critically regarded as a graduation from the first release — resonant, emotional, and expertly crafted.
