Hold Time is M. Ward's amazing follow-up to 2006's brilliant Post-War. Available on CD and LP, Hold Time is an eloquent and startlingly beautiful album. While past critics have compared him to everyone from John Fahey to Tom Waits to his old friend 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 comparisons and compartmentalization. Guest performance by Lucinda Williams, Jason Lytle & Zooey Deschanel.
