Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "Bringing out the too-often buried pop nuances of his stylish songs and new invention from his under-rated guitar work, it's a stylistic cloth that Ward seems very comfortable wearing.", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "His sixth studio album comes teeming with lush compositions and fluttering melodies.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Ward has refined his sound, embracing a lusher approach....HOLD TIME features a few tracks that almost verge upon glam, Beach Boys homages and moments of driving country-rock.", "'Jailbird' is quintessential Ward with string embellishment, 'To Save Me' rollicks fiercely, and the cover of Buddy Holly's 'Rave On' is splendid.", "With mixing and assistance from Saddle Creek mainstay Mike Mogis, plus strings by Peter Broderick, Ward keeps his voice sounding lo-fi even when the production is Phil Spector-sized.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "His immaculately arranged Americana is still as comfortable as an old cardigan, but now there's a hint of sunshine in the melodies...", "With Plenty of Echoey, Hushed Ballads like 'jailbird' That Could only Be Called Classic Ward.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "His most playful and eclectic yet, ranging from the Beach Boys-meets-ELO baroque pop of 'To Save Me' to the tear-stained and gin-soaked 'Oh Lonesome Me'...", "From the shimmering, upbeat opener 'For Beginners' to the ominous instrumental 'Outro,' HOLD TIME highlights the full range of the singer/songwriters' styles.", "HOLD TIME does, in fact, feel timeless, a musical wanderer's dusty, train-hopping tour through folk, blues and country." -- Grade: A-, 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "He murmurs heartsick ballads while his acoustic guitar reflects the country-blues fatalism of John Fahey..."

Additional InformationHOLD TIME recycles blues, folk, and country with a forward-thinking sensibility, then filters it through a vintage, dreamy shimmer.
