· M. Ward’s rise to international renown has been
something of a slow burn. Initially a well-kept
secret of his peers in the Portland folk scene,
his star has continued to rise with each
record’s release to the lofty position he
finds himself in today; one of America’s
most acclaimed modern musicians.
· ‘Hold Time’ is an eloquent and startlingly
beautiful album, which includes guest
performances by Jason Lytle, Lucinda
Williams, Tom Hagerman (DeVotchka) and
Zooey Deschanel.
· While past critics have compared him to everyone
from John Fahey to Tom Waits to his old
friend Howe Gelb, it’s clear that M. Ward is
cutting his own groove.
