M Ward @ Castle Clinton, NYC | Pics
M. Ward played a free show at Castle Clinton National Monument in NYC on Thursday July 21st, 2005. His backing band was Norfolk and Western featuring ex-Decemberist Rachel Blumberg on drums. It’s the second time I saw M. Ward with N&W (the first was at Bowery Ballroom), and I think that Rachel’s addition to Ward’s band is the single greatest thing to come out of the Decemberists lineup change.
* The standing room-only show was perfect in every way.
* Former Ward collaborator Conor Oberst was in the audience.
* Transistor Radio is one of my favorite albums this year.
