This excellent four-song EP adds more fuel to the suspicion that
M. Ward is one of the smartest, most talented, and most appealing singer/songwriters of the early 2000s. The title cut is the feature, a revamped, near-majestic reading of
Daniel Johnston's "To Go Home," featuring alt country royalty Neko Case. The album's other tracks -- the lazy country honk of "Cosmopolitan Pap," the hazy, melancholic piano ballad of "Human Punching Bag," and a cover of
Jimmy Dale Gilmore's "Headed for a Fall" (also featuring Case) -- are equally wonderful. A worthy purchase for fans and newcomers alike,
To Go Home is a little gem of an EP.
