Going to The Wars

"The Civil Wars" is the highly anticipated, self-titled album by the GRAMMY award-winning duo. The recording follows The Civil Wars’ Gold-certified debut. Recorded in Nashville between August 2012 and January 2013, The Civil Wars has already received widespread acclaim from publications including Billboard, NPR Music and Rolling Stone. Charlie Peacock was once again at the helm as producer for the album. Additionally, Rick Rubin produced the duo’s performance for the track, “I Had Me a Girl” in August 2011.

This month's new release from SOMM brings exciting news for all lovers of English Song! At long last, Hubert Parry's complete Twelve Sets of English Lyrics are now available, beginning with Volume I. The twelve sets, which also include other songs by Parry, are spread over three volumes which will be released at six-monthly intervals. This has been a close and enjoyable collaboration between SOMM, the excellent pianist Andrew West and Susan Gritton, James Gilchrist and Roderick Williams, three charismatic singers at the top of their profession, all sharing the same fondness for the expressive lyricism and eloquence inherent in Parry's songs.
