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 Gallagher.
