The indie world was crushed in August when The Civil Wars disbanded. The news came a few years after the duo of John Paul White and Joy Williams went on hiatus, making the breakup official and killing hopes of a new album. It may not be The Civil Wars, but Williams has announced a new solo effort titled 'Venus' that will drop this summer. She shared the lead single, "Woman (Oh Mama)," as well. -

The Civil Wars' John Paul White apologizes after Grammy acceptance speech after omitting Joy Williams
Even though folk-country duo The Civil Wars may not be a band anymore, that doesn't mean John Paul White and Joy Williams have stopped racking up awards. In 2013, The Civil Wars released its second (and likely final) eponymous album, spawning several highly regarded singles. Last night (Jan. 26), that album spawned "From The Valley," for which White and Williams won their fourth Grammy award, but the golden gramophone has not come without some drama. -
Kacey Musgraves wins awards, country music stars perform at 2014 Grammys [VIDEOS]
Even though Taylor Swift thought she did (and then didn't) take home Album of the Year last night at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, the "biggest night in music" was still a huge celebratory fest for country music's most popular acts.

Carolyn Menyes' 2013 Playlist: Bear's Den, Lady Gaga, Janelle Monae and More
Music Times, like so many other music publications, was looking to publish a "Best of 2013" playlist. We met to discuss what such a playlist should include, and that's where we ran into trouble. We couldn't agree. Sometimes two of us just couldn't agree on whether the performer was amazing or terrible, and even when we agreed they were amazing, we couldn't agree on what track was most representative of their work. -

The Civil Wars Top Billboard Album Sales Chart, But Robin Thicke Still Dominates Singles Chart With 'Blurred Lines'
Based on the content of the album "The Civil Wars" and what we've read in the press, we would guess that The Civil Wars are not the happiest of people at the moment. Hopefully the first-week album sales of the album will help them feel at least a little bit better. -
