On Nov. 13, Grammy
award-winning duo The Civil Wars
will release the audio and video from their “VH1 Unplugged” performance exclusively on iTunes.
The 7-track EP includes material from the
band’s RIAA-certified gold album, Barton
Hollow, as well as their song “Kingdom Come” from The
Hunger Games: Songs from District 12. The release also includes
never-officially-released renditions of Michael Jackson’s "Billie Jean" and
Portishead’s “Sour Times” (see below for complete track-listing).
This latest release adds to an
already widely successful few years for the duo, who won “Best Folk Album” and
“Best Country Duo/Group Performance” at 54th annual Grammy Awards and
“Duo/Group of the Year” at the 2012 Americana Music Association’s Honors &
Awards.
The band is also nominated for two CMA Awards—
for “Vocal Duo of the Year” and “Musical Event of the Year” (for their
collaboration with Taylor Swift on “Safe & Sound” from The Hunger Games soundtrack).
After
taking a short summer
hiatus following the birth of Williams’ son, the duo has resumed
its world tour, including recent appearances at San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly
Bluegrass
Festival and the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Dates can be found at thecivilwars.com
