VINYL FORMAT. 180 gram vinyl! Although he's been compared to everyone from John Fahey to Tom Waits to Howe Gelb, with Hold Time, it's clear that M. Ward, with his brilliant guitar playing and innate sense of melody, is one of those rare and special talents who defy comparison and compartmentalization. His deft guitar picking, bar room piano, and voice like drizzled honey make him a huge favorite of music critics and the focus of public praise from such disparate talents as Norah Jones and Oasis' Noel   [ read more ]

This Portland-based songwriter's music bridges the gap between folk, country, blues, and rock. Armed with a guitar, harmonica, sparse percussion, and a tin-pan-alley-esque piano, Ward spins timeless classics that seem to flow effortlessly. Simple yet eloquent tales alive with metaphor and imagery, told in a raspy, sepia-toned croon. He's been compared to Tom Waits, Granddaddy, Sparklehorse, and Howe Gelb.

VINYL FORMAT. M. Ward's third album places him in the forefront of a modern movement that is clearly progressive while simultaneously sounding regressive, manifesting a genius that is pure and untempered. His music defies description except to say it is coming from somewhere steeped in early blues with a Neil Young overlay and the feel of country, blues, pop, and folk. People point to Tom Waits and others as Ward's forbearers, but the muse here is genuinely unique and the sounds are those that only a buddin   [ read more ]

A superb collection of country-folk songs, always rooted deeply in the American folk guitar tradition, but with a slightly Lychia   [ read more ]

RESTOCK.
