The Civil Wars are nominated for a 2013 Grammy for their collaboration with Taylor Swift (\"Safe \u0026amp; Sound\") from the Hunger Games soundtrack. There are moments on the Civil Wars' Barton Hollow that recall the mournful balladry of traditional Appalachian folk, as well as more contemporary explorations of heartache by the likes of Buddy and Julie Miller.  Most of all, the duo turns its first full-length release into a sustained ode to the pleasures and torments of love. Singer\/songwriters Joy Williams and John Paul White offer finely wrought lyrics in settings that suggest both 19th-century parlor music and rougher, rootsier strains.  \u003ci\u003ePoison \u0026amp; Wine\u003c\/i\u003e serves as the keynote for this set, applying the duo's exquisite vocal harmonies to an aria of romantic martyrdom.

In light of the much publicized dissolution of her partnership with bandmate John Paul White, her return to solo work comes loaded with the weight of fan expectations and the tumultuous life changes that occurred prior to the album's release.  On a tip from friend Justin Timberlake, she connected with producer and multi-instrumentalist Matt Morris to craft the 11 songs that would become Venus, an expansive, decidedly modern record that marries Spartan electronic landscapes with warm acoustic elements.  Aside from Williams' delicate voice, the sonic palette of Venus has little to do with the slick country-toned balladry of the Civil Wars.  Nor does it have much to do with her early solo albums as a contemporary Christian pop singer, which at this point seem like a lifetime ago.  A self-described \"coming of age album,\" Venus channels the joys and hardships of becoming a mother, losing her father, losing her band, and nearly losing her marriage into a record that is at times vulnerable, defiant, feminine, bold, and above all, deeply personal.  From the windswept drama of percussive, synth-led opener \"Before I Sleep\" to the sparse, confessional \"One Day I Will,\" it's clear that Williams is fully engaged with her demons as she sails toward calmer waters.  The celebratory tribal-sounding chant \"Woman (Oh Mama)\" and the tender piano ballad \"What a Good Woman Does\" allude to the powerful themes suggested by the album's namesake goddess, whose primary concerns involved love, beauty, sex, and fertility.  Stand-out track \"Sweet Love of Mine\" was written for her son and cleverly mixes dark, synthetic gospel tones with trip-hop beats and a nice vocal breakdown that plays upon the gentle twang of her Civil Wars days.  For the most part, Venus effectively distances Williams from the sounds of Nashville, setting the parameters for the kind of hybrid pop that suits the artist that she now is, or would like to become.  It's the sound of someone coming out the other side of personal upheaval, and even if there are a few missteps, Williams connects in a very human way, providing plenty of allure for an album that feels very much like a debut. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: June 30, 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Sensibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 888750876126\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Joy Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772721729,"sku":"Joy Williams (2)","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Joy_Williams_Venus_CD.jpg?v=1779135804"},{"product_id":"williams-joy-front-porch-cd","title":"Front Porch CD","description":"Front Porch is the 2019 release from Joy Williams, of Civil Wars fame.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: May 3, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Sensibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: \u003cspan\u003e644216262212\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Joy Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14415934750786,"sku":"Joy Williams (5)","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Joy_Williams_Front_Porch_CD.jpg?v=1748870291"},{"product_id":"williams-joy-front-porch-vinyl","title":"Front Porch Vinyl LP (180 gram)","description":"Vinyl LP version of Front Porch, the 2019 release from Joy Williams (of The Civil Wars).    180 gram vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: May 3, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Sensibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 644216262311\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Joy Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14415934783554,"sku":"Joy Williams (6)","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Joy_Williams_Front_Porch_Vinyl_LP.png?v=1779135953"},{"product_id":"civil-wars-barton-hollow-deluxe-vinyl-stormy","title":"Barton Hollow Vinyl LP (Deluxe Edition, Stormy)","description":"Deluxe \"Stormy\" colored double vinyl LP edition of Barton Hollow.
