Track Listing 1. To Go Home 2. Cosmopolitan Pap 3. Human Punching Bag 4. Headed For a Fall
Album Notes Personnel include: M. Ward (vocals, guitar); Jim James, Neko Case (vocals); Nels Cline (guitar); Mike Coykendall, Rachel Blumberg. 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.
