The Civil Wars - "Barton Hollow": SXSW 2011 Showcasing Artist

[N4RCissus]

THUMBS UP IF YOU LIKED THIS SONG BECAUSE OF THE GRAMMY'S, just to spite the dude at top comments.

[Longhand615]

Goddamn that girl is hot. Doesn't seem like she can really stand on her own, but the harmonizing is superb.

[alexcuddeback]

@ I'd prefer you didn't tell me what to do, K honey buns?? They should have had their OWN performance, not opening for someone else, so believe me, i know what they deserve.

[alexcuddeback]

@LauratheExpl0ra Loser, hahaha

[angelajulie23]

She has the perfect nose for a nose piercing.

[ajdonal89]

Johnny Depp looks like HIM.

[miszscoobydoo]

Look its Kate Perry and Johnny Depp wow..

[caal7777]

Dude looks like Johnny Depp

[alexcuddeback]

@mrscorp43 why you gotta go around bein a TROLL and labeling people, huh? I'll be what i want okie dokie smarty pants?

[Gladiator0719]

Is there anything Capt. Jack Sparrow can't do??? Btw, she is hottttttt, finger licking good!!!

[MsIlovetyler]

This should be True Bloods Opening Song, instead of that other country song. Seriously!

[DylanIzParaniod]

@MsIlovetyler  i totally agree

[alehaocsweety]

i thought i recognized them from the grammys!

[PeachSweetxo]

These guys are real artist-theres no faking that

[tlcmdc1]

Wow. I love their blending voices. AWESOME!!!!!

[smithn3513]

Jack White + Johnny Depp = John White?

[gabsiyou]

@smithn3513 just what i thouhgt when i saw him the first time...

[BostonRSox10]

I'm not a hipster, so I didn't know of this song before the Grammy's, but now I really enjoy their music.

[EmmaLillyification]

Johnny Depp + Jack White = Johnny White

Strange...

[TheMsdozier]

They could hypnotize anyone with their melodic tones

[WoodsOfMyMind]

There is absolutely no way in hell these two Aren't together..

[SuperTheodosia]

He looks more like jack white from the white stripes

[HelloAngel133]

He looks exactly like Johnny Depp! OMG!

[XxmcrxlurverX]

@HelloAngel133 dude exactly what I was thinking!

[crobexplosion]

Does anyone else think John Paul White looks like Johnny Depp?

[PeaceLoveandMovies]

@crobexplosion spitting image!

[babynowitzki41]

didnt know johnny deep was a musician now... :)

[aniflikgirl]

@babynowitzki41 and a soon to be daddy...haha

[teaaememy]

@babynowitzki41 Actually he is I don't mean this singer being him but I recently saw a video of Johnny Depp performing.

[crobexplosion]

@teaaememy haha I just said he looked like him and I didn't even see your comment underneath haha.

[BadenC123]

Ya know.. im glad to see that captain jack is doing something productive with his life. LOL

[NeverSHOUTmindy23]

3:11 and on is my favorite part :)

[caglexbox8602]

this was made in the same town i live

[parkers027]

@caglexbox8602 same here bro



[bazzingaification]

as much as i love taylor i really wishh they had gotten to perform their entire song and taylor do half of hers or something like that

[tentativelydori]

I, sadly, never heard of them til the Grammys. I watched their acceptance speech in the pre-show and thought, "I'm going to look them up someday." Done. AMAZED.

[ShiroToaster]

The guy reminds me of Jhonny Depp

[myTrainline]

Is it just me.. or he looks like Johnny Depp? He's awesome though :D

[livvw]

@myTrainline haha yup, i was thinking he looks like him

[jiansen02]

i love the part where there hold long harmonized notes, and that bass line embedded in the guitar chords are delicious!!

[LForLilWayne]

the best 60 seconds ever at the Grammys

[killutoday]

@LForLilWayne

nope that honor goes to the couple who had fun the bathroom. ZING!

[n171987]

oh look...it's johnny depp:))

[K33N4N1998]

OMG ITS JHONNY DEPP

[alexcuddeback]

Thumbs up if you liked this song wayyyy before the Grammys :)

[mrscorp43]

@alexcuddeback is a hipster.

[LauratheExpl0ra]

@alexcuddeback Hipsters, hahaha

[dickerson081404]

@alexcuddeback Oh stop being pretentious! Be glad they got the exposure they deserve...glad to have been introduced to them, whatever the venue!

[hoku51]

Can't enough of this duo, their Grammy performance was awesome. Hope to catch one of their concerts.

[smcallin3]

so glad they played at the grammys! Amazing like always. :)

[8milestreet]

johnny depp?

[ethalinia]

@8milestreet I know, right :P

[Jord4n30]

Who else came here because of the Grammy performance?

[iRamixx]

It's kinda sad that THEY were the opening act for Taylor Swift, should've been the complete opposite.

[jiansen02]

@iRamixx exactly what i was thinking!!

[musicloveer84]

@iRamixx I completely agree! They were way better than Taylor Swift!

[roseinsunshine]

@iRamixx they are both talented.

[jennay246]

@iRamixx theyre featred in her new song, so thats why :) t-swift is awesome!

[andiesilly12]

Awesome intro

[fragrant0412]

the guitar looks like johnnie deep

[RailroadBed]

song

[RailroadBed]

ikr so cool this sing is AWESOME!!!!!!!



[spexile]

This song was free on iTunes maybe a year or so ago. I thought I'd give it a shot and download it. I am really glad I did, and I'm really glad that they're finally getting the attention they deserve.

[bitchmyheadphoneson]

I just luuuuuuv the way their voices harmonize and mixes together they are gooooood:)

[1213beto]

love it!



[mfntertainment]

Because of the grammys, I now know who they are. Because of youtube searching their songs...I am now a fan

[HeathurrxB]

@mfntertainment Yay glad the grammys could bring you to know this wonderful band :)

[musicxcharts2]

the white stripes goes country

[Lambkidz]

@musicxcharts2 If you search around a lot for the music Jack White has done, he's done a lot of bluegrass-style musings. It's wonderful, as is this.

[THX11003]

What the hell is this country shit!

[bazzingaification]

@THX11003 its called good music......

[THX11003]

@bazzingaification Yeah, if your a fucking hillbilly! SMFH!

[bazzingaification]

@THX11003 well suit yourself no ones forcing you to listen to them everyone has their own musical preferences

[SingerSamantha]

@THX11003 don't hate!! this is the grassroots of all music!

[thesunisgoingdown]

@THX11003 I have to respectfully disagree with you. If you are going to let a music genre/label dictate what your opinion of good music is so be it. But even so, you can't deny the fact that they are a very talented duo.

[THX11003]

@thesunisgoingdown As i said, music is very personal. I use ambient music to meditate and write. Actual lyrics are very distracting. This above me, is distracting.

[thesunisgoingdown]

@THX11003 So basically any song with lyrics is distracting? Why don't you post "What is this shit?" on EVERY single music video with lyrics then. Seriously go do that, see ya in 50 years.

[THX11003]

@thesunisgoingdown If you are using music as a synthesizer for your thoughts, then you will find ambient music more appropriate. But technically yes, lyrics are distracting. Does it apply to every song? Perhaps. Again, this is not my cup of tea. Cheers.

[THX11003]

@thesunisgoingdown it shouldnt translate into me disliking every song with lyrics. That would be a tragic misunderstanding of me. Along with every other misunderstanding.

[THX11003]

@thesunisgoingdown And yes, i also admit, they are talented. When are musicians NOT talented? Either way, not my cup of tea.

[thesunisgoingdown]

@THX11003 Um Lil Wayne and Kesha are prime examples. People that have to autotune the shit out of their songs to sound good are untalented muscians.

[Simstyle12]

@thesunisgoingdown HOLDDDD up trap. Lil wayne didnt always autotune and dat phase is ova now. He dont use it no more ya big dummy. You are just the biggest retard. Yo momma must have dropped u on yo head. But look up "drake - hyfr ft lil wayne" and u will hear that he dont use it no more. Hope u kno how to look it up ya BIG dummy !

[Riiadz88]

@Simstyle12 Lil Wanker is a joke. He sounds like a ghetto black version of Ozzy. Can't understand anything that douche says. He ain't no talent, just some stupid black guy in fancy clothes making our youth more ignorant than his lyrics.

[Simstyle12]

@Riiadz88 stop hatin cuz he making money. Its okay though, not nice to make fun of slow people but your one on one should not let u on youtube, DATS a NO NO.

[thesunisgoingdown]

@Simstyle12 Hahahaha did I just get trolled? LOL

[Simstyle12]

@thesunisgoingdown wtf? I dont know what that white people lingo means. Talk like a human, RETARD !

[thesunisgoingdown]

@Simstyle12 That's funny considering it's from the person who just spelled over 50 things wrong. And how do you have a youtube account for 4 years and not know what trolling is?lol

[wendyg46]

WOW a Johnny Depp lookalike!

[silvereyes181]

I am not even kidding. I live in a place called Barton Hollow, just one of the many country towns nestled in the mountains of West Virginia lol

[NikkiAdkins73]

Love this duo, just bought the CD today, go get it! It is amazing

[yeahWegonnaparty]

i'm glad the grammys sent me here (y)

[dmzdiva13]

I love these guys! Simple and cool!

[leiin16]

Their performance at the grammys was AWESOME. Wish they'd sang the whole song though.

[bazzingaification]

@leiin16 ikrrrrr

[Garkar2006]

Could use more chords though or musicianship, though.

[Garkar2006]

@Garkar2006 Keeping in account that I love simplicity.

[Garkar2006]

Expected them to be shit before listening.. glad to see I am quite mistaken. Not sure about her voice though.

[xasjsful]

very very very good song <3

[690169]

This is pretty good stuff and also....She's really beautiful

[No2moking89]

this song should be in true blood

[scowbicde]

I thought this was jack white at first at the grammys haha

[aliceislegit]

I absolutely LOVE THIS. So happy they won that Grammy.

[pittersmama]

Just read that Joy is expecting! Congrats to Joy and her husband, Nate, on their upcoming arrival!

[anthonydadog]

bad ASS!!!!!

[italianbaby2011]

That 60 seconds of them performing at the Grammys was the best thing I am completely obsessed!!!!

[mdoanca]

@italianbaby2011 I couldn't agree more.

I was about to fall asleep when I've heard them. It was from a different world.

It took me 2 hours to find a picture from G2012 to find out who they are (pardon my ignorance)

Now I know!

By far the most original and soulfull performance of the night.

[AlphaQup2727]

this songs kinda got a johnny cash vibe in it. sooo amazing

[kickawesomex]

Glad this band has been garnering more attention! They definitely deserve the two Grammys they won last night! So proud :)

[pookieamos]

I don't normally watch the grammys , I did last night , I saw this duo and man oh man I love this song.I rewinded it multiple times to hear it again. I then googled the band.Today , I am going to buy it ! AWESOME , AWESOME COUPLE !

[anbmjj]

They sang for a minute at the grammy's and times their fame by ten. I'm a fan.

[BrittBritt22556]

I love this. It's so original && shows how music moves through you <3

[dlcsrc1957]

This and Adele were some of the best performances I have ever heard on the Grammys. When someone can sing, they don't need all that flash. More artists should be like this. Play their own insturments and sing their asses off.

[peachtreepatti1]

Saw them on the Grammy's....loved them! What a sound! I was so excited to find this video, and I downloaded their entire album on itunes! wow!

[MissyT47]

Love, Love, Love this song and these artists. Makes me want to be a better singer.

[charlieg1337]

outside adele and jennifer holiday...........they were the most impressive.....that's why i came here, too..................

[ptlda]

@charlieg1337 Jennifer Hudson?

[pittersmama]

The Grammys brought me here. Have never heard your stuff until tonight. HIGHLY IMPRESSED! You two are just fricking COOL! (Going to listen to your other songs now...yay, glad to have found you!) Your voices are haunting. Love your sound!

[Quinn000100]

@pittersmama Same here.....never heard of them....but that song they did on the grammy's......Fabulous....

[pittersmama]

@Quinn000100 It was this song, "Barton Hollow". It was just a shortened 60 second version. I really like their song "Forget Me Not". I am going to listen to more later, but I imagine they will not have a song that I don't like.

[wklosek42]

@pittersmama Same here........What was the song they sang on the Grammy's?

[pookieamos]

@wklosek42 Barton Hollow -Fantastic , utterly fantastic song !

[ilec88]

@wklosek42 That would be a very, very brief version of this one! ("Barton Hollow") I recommend their cover of "Billie Jean" :D

[pittersmama]

@wklosek42 It was this song, "Barton Hollow"---just a shortened 60 second version. As awesome as they are, they should have been able to do the whole song. It was my favorite part of the entire show. It left me longing for more. I came here to find more of their songs. I really like "Forget Me Not" too. I am looking forward to watching more of their videos tonight after I get my kids in bed. :-)

[tracktracktrack888]

that, that is talent.

[eightfingertom]

very kickass todays best!!! in the country genre that is. commanding lyrics, powerful voices, and nice licks on the guitar. very nice very nice

[ucsb1969]

to me they were the high light of the mostly dumbed down music presented and celebrated at the Grammys. Am I wrong or have the Kings of Leon performed this song under the title "Lucifer"?

[pnoble15]

the Grammys brought! me here...im digging this sound tho!! and alot more of there songs!! nice nice

[notyrmama]

@pnoble15 one good thing bout the grammy's is they brought the best 60 seconds of sound to my ears by way of Barton Hollow and the civil wars...awesome sound

[ejflex]

I'm not a fan of country at all well maybe besides some old Johnny Cash, but these two are great. What would this sound be classified as exactly?

[notyrmama]

@ejflex roots are blue grass...but with a twist...it's amazing how much the blue grass sounds appeal to our core isn't it...

[ksmfighton]

@ejflex folk indie

[XxHateNoEviLxX]

Not a fan of country or folk, but this I can dig.

[seattledude02]

I'm so enraged they only got 60 seconds. But fucking Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown get to perform and entire song? Fuck them and their crappy music.

[IAMAL3KSANDER]

I THOUGHT IT WAS JHONNY DEPP AT FIRST LOL

[m3dm4n34]

I am extremely happy they were on the Grammy's. I doubt I would have found them otherwise. They're extremely great. And probably one of the only bands I've ever heard that sounds as good live as they do in recording. Rare.

[TheCollisionofworlds]

oh god damnit here come the grammy retards: "LIKE THIS IF YOU SAW THIS ON THE GRAMMMYS!" we get it you're a trendhopper, you're shallow, and need acceptance. go away.

[yodasolga]

@TheCollisionofworlds oh god damn it, here come the hipster retards "LIKE THIS IF YOU LIKED THESE GUYS BEFORE THE GRAMMYS" I get it you are a pretentious bitch, you're shallow and YOU need acceptance. Good music was good then, and good now.

[mirandalucas23]

like this if you looked this up cuz of the grammy's

[pnruss]

Grammys!!!!! 2012

[roostercogburn309]

Just happened to flip on the grammys when these guys were performing. I had never heard them... I'm glad I did.

[ZekaDangerous]

This song reminds of O Brother Where Art Thou

[Spor3r]

Yeah, why IS Johnny Depp singing this song?

[mbh023]

Great song... all that needs to be said.

[35TCK]

Anyone that pins music down by labels and think they can honestly define it is ignorant

[MsTawanda2you]

That is so funny.Johnny Depp.I dunno about that.Johnny could totally play him in a movie.They are just awesome anyway ya slice it.So glad they hooked up and made great sounds.

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@MsTawanda2you johnny depp is also a great guitarist actually

[AmandaSamDotCom]

JOHNNY DEPP!!!! looks a lot like him! But this song is great!

[Dinosaurjk]

I know this has nothing to do with this song ,but this song really makes me want to watch the movie Holes XD

[thekingrobert]

i love barton hollow



[derek0660]

johhny depp + jack white = john white LOL

[chellywuzhere636]

@derek0660 omg so true!!!

[DwagonBown]

@derek0660 OH MY GOD HE'S A PERFECT COMBINATION OF THE TWO

[mcflynaturalluvr]

@derek0660 best observation ever.

[taliby13]

Thank you, Taylor Swift!

[MiaUczkowski]

[BelieberInBieberTW]

[tuliusy2k]

Sounds like Gospel Folk...Sounds good anyway!

Congrats JOHNNY!!!

[ChadOnTheNet]

[maraea95a]

[warcraftherosrule]

[AshiyaAnna]
