Even though the elements suggest a traditionalist approach, it's the ease with which he navigates them that has helped Ward emerge as one of the most refreshing figures in the post-millennium indie folk scene. His first solo effort, <i>Duet for Guitars #2</i>, was released in 1999, eventually finding an audience beyond Portland through a handful of rereleases. With his sophomore record, 2001's <i>End of Amnesia</i>, and 2003's <i>Transfiguration of Vincent</i> (whose title is a nod to a record by one of Ward's primary influences, John Fahey), his elegant songwriting won international acclaim. His next pair of releases, <i>Transistor Radio</i> (2005) and <i>Post-War</i> (2006), followed in form but examined more robust production aesthetics. He began collaborating with actress Zooey Deschanel in 2006, and after releasing a 2008 record with her as She & Him, titled <i>Volume One</i>, he returned to his solo career with 2009's <i>Hold Time</i>. - Nate CavalieriIndie/Alternativeen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:26:23 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.13347&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fm-ward%2Fplaylists.rss The stuff that goes into any one of M Ward's bittersweet recordings contains a handful of rootsy musical traditions -- dusty, blues-inflected country; the rolling rhythms of early rock 'n' roll; the breezy shuffle of acoustic folk.
