Dunn, who is being honored in the songwriter / artist category, is responsible for writing some of the iconic act's biggest hits, including "Boot Scootin' Boogie" and "Neon Moon."
Joy Williams started her career in the early 2000s, as a Christian artist, but she felt that she had met her musical counterpart in former duo partner John Paul White. The two started playing together as the Civil Wars in 2009, releasing two studio albums before ending their creative relationship last year -- a breakup that rocked Williams both personally and professionally.
It's been more than two years since the Civil Wars stopped making music, and as Joy Williams has set out on a solo career, she's enlisted help from an unexpected source: Justin Timberlake.
The Civil Wars may not be speaking, but they are sure selling records. The duo's self-titled sophomore album bowed at the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart in its debut week.
The Civil Wars recently released a new single, and they have a new, self-titled album coming out in August. But despite what appears to be some forward career progress, the duo consisting of Joy Williams and John Paul White are still not communicating.
