But watching this video of her covering one of my favorite song to date takes my admiration of her to another level. She plays all the instruments and keeps the integrity and purity of the song.

AMAZING DUO: THE CIVIL WARS

If you're a fan of "The Hunger Games" or Taylor Swift, you've likely already heard of this indie music duo THE CIVIL WARS. Composed of Joy Williams and John Paul White, they recently covered "Sour Times", a song originally performed by Postishead...This is so intense and magnetic- watching them perform together is like a religious experience!


The duo's rendition of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" is another favorite! Country, folk, pop - we can add Blues to that with this excellent cover!!


The Civil Wars took home two Grammy's this year winning Best Country Duo/Group Performance and Best Folk Album collaborated with Swift on the first "Hunger Games" single "Safe & Sound". Their first full length album "Barton Hollow" was released February last year. =O
