The Civil Wars & T Bone Burnett, ‘Long Time Gone’ Video Premiere

If The Civil Wars are indeed breaking up, then they're going out on a meaningful note. Before the Grammy-winning duo announced that they were unable to continue touring together as a result of "internal discord and irreconcilable differences," they teamed with legendary producer T Bone Burnett to create the soundtrack for "A Place at the Table," a moving documentary about the growing problem of hunger in the U.S. The film, which is now in select theaters, opens viewers eyes to the 49 million people in the U.S. -- including one in every four children -- who don't know where their next meal is coming from.

"It hit home extremely hard for me," says The Civil Wars' John Paul White (quote via Roughstock). "As a very young husband and father, I was a part of the WIC and food stamps program. I don't like to dwell much on the past, but I hate to think where I would be without those programs. There were times that the only food on the table was a result of our enrollment. This contributes greatly to my deep attachment to this project. I'm thrilled to have had a small part in a film that exposes and highlights a pervasive problem right here at home."

"Being a part of 'A Place at the Table' opened my eyes to an epidemic that is happening in our country right now -- underneath many of our noses," adds Joy Williams. "It's happening to our neighbors, to our friends, to children. It's a silent battle that can be won, if we as a nation set our minds to ending it. Linking arms with T Bone Burnett to create music for such a timely and important film as this was an honor."

The "A Place at the Table" soundtrack features 13 original songs penned by the Civil Wars and T Bone Burnett.
