So, after the holiday weekend of driving, I'm going to have to remove Cat Power's The Greatest from my best albums of the year list and replace it with M. Ward's Post-War. I know, I know, it took me forever to actually give it a listen.
I finally did while driving through the deep, dark woods of Hwy. 38 to the Oregon Coast. And was blown away by how good it is. This is the first M. Ward album I've actually loved, which I think is due to the fact that there's a backing band on this album which I feel was missing from his previous albums. Here he's nailed it. This album reflects the musicality that I knew was possible when I heard "Big Boat."
Fave tracks include "Magic Trick," "Rollercoaster," and of course, "Chinese Translation."
