M. Ward - Transfiguration Of Vincent

 

First time on Merge vinyl

Single jacket with paper inner sleeve

Limited time album download included

M. Ward's Transfiguration of Vincent, his third solo album, is a house filled with ghosts, from the spirits of friends who have passed away to the departed legends of American roots music. Ward's music is an especially vivid channeling of old-time country, jazz, folk, bluegrass and blues.

At the center is Ward's guitar playing; he nimbly, soulfully picks at an acoustic most of the time (a la the late, great John Fahey). But there's also harmonica, saloon-style piano, and more. His music has been compared to such luminaries as Tom Waits, Grandaddy, Sparklehorse, and Howe Gelb.
