Inspired by his increasingly itinerant lifestyle, M. Ward set forth to create something of a musical travelogue on this highly anticipated sixth solo album, A Wasteland Companion.Ward's honey-soaked vocals, deft finger-picking, innate sense of melody and beguiling lyrics have already cemented his reputation as one of America's true musical treasures and A Wasteland Companion features some of the finest songwriting and most striking delivery of his career. A Wasteland Companion features the talents of Zooey Deschanel, Howe Gelb, Mike Mogis, Steve Shelley, and more!
