The Civil Wars podcast
NPR has a podcast of The Civil Wars performance. I saw the duo twice when they were in LA. I was impressed by both their vocal ranges and how effortlessly it was for them. Also, they both have this great chemistry as well as sense of humor that makes their show all the more entertaining.
