Interesting how I had a sudden desire to listen to M. Ward, and then I go check my calendar, and see that I've got plans to watch him play tonight! A nice synchronicity. I don't usually think to listen to him, which is probably due to my being far less intrigued by his music learning some actual information about the man. Which is to say, when it became clear that he wasn't a phantom of some real or invented part of American lore. Maybe the biggest pitfall of fame is becoming a known quantity and losing the possibility of shrouding yourself in mystery. I guess I'll find out soon enough whether I dig his current material. Hopefully, it's as sad and soulful as this tune.
