I've decided to start a series of posts highlighting some great covers. I'd like to start by pointing the spotlight at The Civil Wars.
The simplicity of the Civil Wars' performances (just the duo on stage with nothing more than a guitar and sometimes a piano to hide behind) lays their songs bare. They take an approach to their covers that strips them down to the core and presents the songs in a completely reimagined way. It is easy to tell that this isn't done just for the sake of saying, "hey everybody, look what we can do!" John Paul and Joy project a reverence for the music they are playing and treat the songs they cover with great care. See for yourself:
