Wendy Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The website is way cool. Prices 17 and 20 dollars at 2 of the shows I glanced at. Wow, very reasonable. Hope he hits OH/IN/MI sometime soon. I've only seen him solo so far, and looking forward to the new album and seeing him with the full band.

lizish Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 you mean the "Can Brian Dennehy crack the Da Vinci Code?" cover. It's cooler in fact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooka Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 you mean the "Can Brian Dennehy crack the Da Vinci Code?" cover. It's cooler in fact. I thought that was Marlon Brando trapped in a spider web. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...cc=asc-20090107 Exclusive First Listen: M. Ward's 'Hold Time' Hear the entire new album here, beginning at 11:59 p.m. ET Monday, Jan. 12. NPR.org, January 7, 2009 - The songs of singer-guitarist M. Ward seem to drift in on the crackling radio waves of a distant time. Warm and intimate, his largely acoustic and usually spare arrangements are a tribute to what Ward sees as the greatest era for American music: the 1950s and early '60s, when singers like Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison infused country-rooted pop with honesty and romance. Ward's latest album, Hold Time, continues this tradition, with a gorgeously produced mix of finger-picked guitars, upright bass and shuffling rhythms, all tied together by his achy voice. Hold Time won't be released until Feb. 17, but listeners can hear the entire album here on NPR Music as an exclusive preview, beginning at 11:59 p.m. ET Monday, Jan. 12. The new disc was mixed by producer and multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis, with guest appearances by Lucinda Williams, Zooey Deschanel (She & Him), Rachel Blumberg (The Decemberists) and others. Though it mostly features all-new songs, Hold Time includes a handful of cover tunes, including Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me" and "Rave On," made popular by Buddy Holly. "I think the songwriting style of (Buddy Holly's) period was superior," Ward says in an interview with All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen. "There was a certain amount of joy in it, no matter how sad the song is. You get joy in listening to these Buddy Holly or Roy Orbison sad lyrics. I'm attracted to songs that have balance between the darks and the lights and giving them all equal opportunity." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smokestack Joe Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 M Ward's popularity is gaining steam, probably more so with She & Him, maybe this new record will put him on the Big Board, ie Big Tour, Summer festivals, dueting/guesting on Icon's records. Im not saying i want this, i really enjoyed seeing M Ward stageside at a small club in Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
