More of wot I have heard…

Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars

Folk-Country-Americana is one of those categories that seems to be made up for artists that don’t quite fit into the traditional mould or by fans who want to distinguish their newly found favourites from what went before in a ‘look what we found’ sort of way. But this band, or more correctly – duo, do draw on many styles that cross boundaries. They have a pared down sound that draws you into an intimate relationship with the songs in a way that I like – it is an album for people who like to ‘listen’ to the songs.
