Adele + The Civil Wars

Adele is a one-word answer to people who think they just don't make them like Dusty Springfield anymore. But the preternaturally self-possessed young English singer-songwriter is not just some retro knock-off: She's a genuinely soulful vocalist whose lyrics reflect a rare emotional maturity, as you can hear on her chart-busting second album, 21. Opening is the Civil Wars, featuring Nashville singer-songwriter Joy Williams and songman John Paul White.
