Back To The Good Ole' Days!

M Ward is one of the few great song-writers that has such a unique sound that you instantly know its him from one strum of his guitar. This guy could be probaly the closest thing we ever get to too recreating the good ole days of the classic 1920 to 1950 period of country and blues music. This guy has the same kind of voice as Billie Holiday except that it is a bit more masiculine obviously! And he plays like Johnny Cash, hes brill! The album is a weird affair, some songs can be like classic country(Fuel For Fire for example), some can be like funky latino tunes(Regeneration one) and some songs can sound like they've been taking of a Beatles song book(Big Boat). Theres a lot of great enjoyable tracks on this but nothing matches up to the sensational "Fuel For Fire", which sounds so beautiful, thanks to M Ward's Billie Holiday like vocals, its honestly out of this world! Infact the whole album is! It seriously sounds as though a man from the 1930s has time travelled from then to now! I have nothing else to say about this album other than that. But i defintely recommend this album because chances are that you'll never hear anything like this again!
