i mentioned joy william's new duo in her post, so here's the tuesday tune devoted to them. in addition to their respective solo careers, joy teamed up with john paul white to form the band the civil wars. they've already released their debut ep, poison & wine, and are currently writing and recording a full-length album, due to release this fall.you can download their live at eddie's attic album FREE on their myspace page.
i love this explanation joy gives about the title track on the ep, "poison & wine":
"poison & wine" is a musical snapshot about the dichotomy of love - that while it can be the thing that destroys you, it can also be the very same thing that beckons and builds you. JP and i are both married – have been for several years now - and we got to talking one day about what a tug and pull our individual relationships can be. the longer you know someone - and the longer you allow someone to know you - the more the light and shadows inside each person become more vivid. this song was our attempt at being as brutally honest about the dangerous and beautiful process of knowing and being known.
