I hate it when I find a great band, fall in love with their music, and then find out they broke up before I heard about them.

THEY DID??

Honestly don't know what all the negativity is about. Regardless of their internal issues, they both compliment each other beautifully, and frankly, I find Joy's movement and passion incredibly inspiring... NOT manipulative/annoying/unprofessional. It's obvious that they both put their souls into the music. Some of the most genuine music making I've ever seen.

People always underestimate female musicians and try to undermine them.

I love them so much. Ugh please make up and bring back this beautiful music yall!! Quit playing

She has an amazing voice and together they're gold

Gotta love Civil Wars. Also I must say that these sound people or their equipment is astounding in the middle of a windy day in the open space... I think it even added something. That was amazing.

I love how the wind accompanies them on this performance. Nice job sound engineers!

...and the way Joy keeps the microphone stand still with her foot :D

liked before i even watched the video. With the Civil Wars, you KNOW its gonna be an amazing show

Amazing what a wind screen will do for a mic. Wonderful recording!

Her baby bump is so cute!

I am so in love with joy williams! So lovely. Such a good singer.

She is incredible. So is John Paul. They are so different but thats why they compliment each other so well. What they have in common is 'living in music' when they perform. I have never heard performances as intimate as theirs. It's like looking inside their little private world, which they gracefully allowed us to do for three amazing years. Two shooting stars indeed...

The descriptions written for these videos are terrific.

I will never understand why they stopped making music together.

Excellent production! Great location, great job with audio.Their voices give me shivers!

i love them SO MUCH. THEY CANNOT BREAK UP. "IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES OF AMBITION" my ASS.

So much chemistry.

Well, just in the singing!

If that one mic and a bit of audio editing in post is all they are using, that is fascinating! 😱 I mean, The Civil Wars sound even better live already anyways, but that wind cancellation and still able to get that clean of a sound, unbelievable!

No miracle fix for the wind noise which is evident at the start, sadly. Once the performance starts the audio is 100% overdubbed; if you look closely at the performance you can see a few things that make it obvious, like how he manages to continue defined fingerpicking whilst brushing a strand of hair out of his eyes :P

Actually no, that audio is coming from that mic. How do I know? Because pay attention at the beginning when she grabs the falling mic. If the audio had been from that mic, you would have heard a big THUMP when she grabbed the mic stand. Thus the audio at the beginning had to be coming from the camera's built in mic. Having done field recordings in the past for film work I know that those fluffy wind screens work quite well. You can tell also that they did quite a bit of mastering to the recording on top of that. The NPR audio engineers are some of the best in the business. As for the parts out of sync, that has more to do with the video editing guy who got a bit sloppy. It's his job to sync the video cuts to the music. At any rate I'm also now extremely curious about what mic they used as they got a fantastic sound overall from it.

Hope they can work things out. Their voices are so good together. I would love to hear some new music from them.

Love the description for this video. So true. And we'll written.

Oh my god, the sophomore project can't come soon enough! If this song is any kind of indication, we are in for a hella-treat!!

Que lindoo *.* me perco vendo esses dois..

Funny you said that. Cuz in the thumbnail i thought it was Jon Snow and someone. Lol

They blend vocally so well. Maybe if Christ comes back, he will come back as a couple.

They're incredible.

My goodness, I have been WAITING for this recording.

I clicked to 3:14 a billion times and finally caught what you meant! My guess is they just faked it here to have something to show, then played it in a quieter and less windy area LOL. They are amazing live, and they wouldn't fake it unless they really had too :). Great catch though :)

this song reflects their relationship atm. i hope they work out their issues, because i can't handle it :(

yay, they're in my state! They always sound amazing....love Kingdom Come

Wonderful song ! Thanks.

Oh God,I think I'm in love for Joy's voice.

amazing. the fact that she's pregnant makes it 100x more beautiful.

Very very nice! What a neat moment...

Whenever I listen to their solo voices, I feel that there is one part genuinely missing as if it doesn't feel as complete as when they were singing together. Moreover, I miss the depth of their lyrics and the soul piercing quality in their solo songs.

Same. They may no longer believe it, but musically they complete each other. It’s like they become one full voice together. Praying one day they find a way back to each other. There’s no replacement for the music they made together.😭

I have no idea whether it's just part of the performance, or whether she's really messing with him. Not my concern either way. They're artists; all I care about is their work. Their songs, and their performances of them, are phenomenal, and her stagecraft (if that's what it is) is part of it. I join everyone else in joy (as it were) at the prospect of their getting back together; terrible waste if they don't. Further deponent sayeth not.

Yes, what 32459 said. Thanks for posting that!

Cannot get this song out of my mind.

Oh my heart is still breaking over this...I just can't understand what could have gone wrong...I hope they work it out, though

Beautiful as usual...So sad to read about their separation...

wow, amazing.

Why do people have to find issues it’s just beautiful.

Just here to say again how mad I am they stopped making music

I know, it's such a good song and the intro with her laugh...

She’s tiny!!!! Oh how i miss thee TCW 💔

Omg I hope they don't breakup!they are TOO good together.no guys say it aint so!:c

just goes to show you the absolute fragility of beauty.

thanks :)

Great and Wonderful. I LOVE IT.

90,000 views? Pretty amazing.

They're working on a new album right now! Should be released late this summer.

beautiful

The whole time I was thinking, "That's a BIG ASS mic."

Read the description on this video. Or check out their site/facebook. They're on hiatus :( I just saw them again last month and they seemed as happy as ever. So very sad.

Very good and this is live

She is so damn enchanting. I am enchanted.

The world needs you

thats a cool looking capo... great performance.

Does anyone else get really jealous watching them perform?

Love

That guy REALLY wants to be Johnny Depp! Joy Williams is a jewel...

They're not breaking up. Joy said recently they were in the studio listening to some of the new stuff.

Such a cute video and song :3

Sediments are chunks of rock or other materials eroded by water and wind. Sentiments is probably the word your looking for.

tlcarbaugh nice catch! You'll notice that the series of notes in the seconds following are identical; they probably just dubbed that audio over the hitch.

The stabilization makes it nauseating but good audio nonetheless.

3 OF A PERFECT PAIR -gilpin 8-8-16

you're probably right. If the temptations of the road were too much for the great Johnny Cash himself, these two didn't stand a chance.. but i'm just instigating lol. hopefully we'll find out what really happened soon!

I wish I lived in George, Washington

sasquatch fest was in may and joy had her baby boy in june, didn't she? I hope these two work things out!

I love these guys...maybe after the baby is older perhaps they'll reconcile.

Is that audio actually coming just from that one mic?? I figure they must be waring lavaliers or something, right? Opinions?

NPR Music Could you tell us something about the recording equipment???

I second that. That's one hell of a great sound they got from a single mic in a difficult field recording environment. It would be nice to hear from the audio engineers on such details as a big part of the art is in the audio recording and production.

*raised hand and raised three finger salute* ;)

Almost, but still legal.

Great! What the mic was used? Many thanks.

what happened to the two to part their ways anyway? I just now heard of them couple of days ago and have been watching their videos they have made together. I know its dumb question

MUSCLE SHOALS THE MOVIE IS GOING TO THEATERS. SEE THE TRAILER ON OUR PAGE!

...well it definitely was over soon. That is a fact.

Read the description

Anybody else notice at around 3:17 he reaches up to take hair out of his mouth, yet the music continues? Just curious...

tlcarbaugh Man, that sucks. I was incredible impressed with this recording (still am) and that mic, but what you pointed out means they most likely recorded a separate time and edited it in in post production. Still awesome, just less of an awesome mic and editing haha

I love the BABY belly!

it's a real shame about their recent possible break up.

It's almost 2021 and I'm still hoping for a reconciliation.....Joy is now divorced so maybe that will help things a bit?

cant wait to go back to Sasquatch...

Did the tiny desk concerts replace the field recordings?

I guess I might be a bit naive here. Is the audio from a different recording? Or how can they record such clear audio in these conditions?

That moment you realize its a lip sung performance. =[ 3:15 (guitar continues playing as Paul scratches his beard) and 4:00 (when Joy stops lip syncing but the "you" is held out.)

it's not lip sung. lol it's multiple takes. the editor probably just used a different shot from a different take. they probably just used the best audio and best video

cool what's it called

why comment?, they were great, now they're gone.

wait! They arent a couple~!? Thats....heartbraking

So, obviously the wind was an issue that day. Where was the audio actually recorded? Because his fingerpicking continues while he is scratching his beard around 3:17.

WGBH giving props to npr. Almost incestuous, that.

That baby is lucky...

Dude, no reason to get so mad

"Williams and White recently announced that they've canceled all of their current tour dates in response to "internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition." NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

3:14... Watch closely

Well I need a cigarette. Anyone else?
