love/hate

a famous and a not-so-famous singer/songwriter duo

the civil wars. tip of my tongue. 

elenowen. bittersweet.

I couldn't believe how similar the two are. the differences I see? Joy Williams (of The Civil Wars) has a better voice than Nicole Johnson. But I'd rank Josh Johnson's voice above John Paul White's. The tie-breaker? John Paul White's breathtaking classical guitar picking. If you liked them, Elenowen has a free sampler and The Civil Wars have a free live album up on Noisetrade.
