NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- It's a boy for Joy Williams of The Civil Wars.

Miles Alexander was born Saturday in the Music City. It's the first child for Williams and her husband Nate Yetton, the duo's manager. A statement says mama and son are happy and healthy.

Williams and her musical partner John Paul White officially went on maternity leave after a performance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival earlier this month. The Grammy Award-winning duo plans to begin recording the follow-up to their surprise hit "Barton Hollow" during the hiatus.

Williams says she "never really knew the meaning of love at first sight until today."

JOHAMMOND, I DON'T HAVE A WEBSITE, IF YOU ARE TALKING TO ME.
PEACE BE WITH YOU.
SORRY FOR THE LARGE PRINT, I NEED NEW GLASS'S.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET OLDER AND WISER. LOL

THEIR IS AN OLD SAYING. IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.

PEOPLE WERE VERY WISE YEARS AGO, IT IS A PITY THEY WERE UNABLE TO PASS THEIR WISDOM OF LIFE.

PERHAPS I SHOULD START A WEBSITE, SUCH AS, WHAT THE PROPER RESPONCE WOULD BE TO ANY SITUATION, SO PEOPLE WOULD BE POLITE TO ONE ANOTHER. IT COST NOTHING TO BE POLITE, AND TO SAY PLEASE, THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY.

MAY THE NEW LIVES THAT HAVE COME INTO THIS WORLD BE BLESSED WITH LONG FRUITFUL LIVES, FILLED WITH WISDOME, AND COMPASION FOR OTHERS. AMEN

THANK YOU FOR THE CHANCE TO SAY THANK YOU.

She's from California. Didn't your high school coaches ever tell you about "assuming"? Way to stereotype. She and her duo partner make amazing music that is far better than anything on the radio these days by the way.

Ugly people shouldn't have children. It clouds the gene pool.

Sorry, you're not Scotland's answer to Lady Antebellum. I may actually need therapy now after listening to your music.
