Separated at birth?

There was a time when I would know about new bands as soon as they hit the scene, however, as I don't listen to radio, that is becoming more difficult. At the recent Grammy Awards I 'discovered' the band called The Civil Wars and what struck me (besides me liking their song) was the resemblance of the male singer John Paul White to rock singer and former White Stripes leadman, Jack White.

Okay, I did look for a picture of Jack White that looked most like John Paul White, but still...it's eerie. There is no relation, Jack's family surname is actually Gillis and he was born in Detroit, Michigan. John White was raised in Alabama. I'm a big fan of Jack White and a collaboration with The Civil Wars would be great. See their respective videos below. Even their musical styles are similar.
