El final de The Civil Wars

Foto: The Civil Wars—made up of duo partners Joy Williams and John Paul White—have regretfully decided to permanently part ways. The difficult decision ends a tumultuous period for the four-time Grammy Award-winning band, who has been on indefinite hiatus since late 2012. 

As a thank you gift and farewell, the band is offering a download of their rendition of “You Are My Sunshine.” Recorded in 2010, the track was originally released in 2011 as a b-side to the band’s limited edition Barton Hollow 7” vinyl. This is the first time the song has been available digitally in the U.S. 

Both Joy and John Paul have added their personal words on disbanding here below. 

Joy Williams comments, “I am saddened and disappointed by the ending of this duo, to say the very least. JP is a tremendous musician, and I will always be grateful for the music we were able to create together.

I sincerely hope that ‘You Are My Sunshine’ will be accepted as a token of my gratitude for every single person that has supported our duo throughout the years. I’m so thankful and my heart is full. 

Looking ahead, I’m excited to share the music that I am writing and recording in the midst of this difficult transition. I’ve loved being back in the studio, and have missed performing live. I look forward to seeing you soon.” 

John Paul adds, “I would like to express sincere thanks to all who were a part of the arc of The Civil Wars—from the beginning, to the end, and all points in between. My deep appreciation goes out to all who supported, disseminated, and enjoyed the music. Whatever shape or form the next chapter takes, thanks for being a large part of this one.”

 El dúo de música folk americano The Civil Wars ha desaparecido oficialmente. John Paul White y Joy han puesto fin a su relación profesional rompiendo uno de los grupos más interesantes de este género, que les llevó a conseguir cuatro premios Grammy gracias a sus dos discos de estudio.

 Con un comunicado, la formación ha agradecido las muestras de cariño a sus fans y les han querido premiar con una última composición titulada 'You Are My Sunshine', una cara B publicada en 2011 en un vinilo de edición limitada de 'Barton Hollow', que ya puedes escuchar y descargar de forma gratuita en su web.

 Su hiato, anunciado en 2012, duraba ya varios años, por lo que este momento era de esperar. Ahora, desde las redes sociales del extinto dúo, se fomenta la carrera en solitario de ambos artistas.
