Listened to the Civil Wars on a long car road today.
Makes me sad, but I love the way their voices worked together.
This is a very early rendition of From This Valley by the erstwhile duo.
Two voices and one guitar.
The sheer joy of their earlier recordings of this are sublime, and I like them better than the version which was latterly included on their second and final album.
Here’s another from around the same time.
