Video: Bright Eyes "Smoke Without Fire" ft. M. Ward (Live)
The running joke about M. Ward is that he'''s a better covers artist than he is an actual songwriter. The implication, of course, being that he'''s a terrific songwriter''but man, dude'''s got some pipes. Throaty? Raspy? Humid? Seductive? Maximal? Zeus-like? Could Zeus even sing? Umm, not as well as M. Ward''you see where I'''m going with this. M. Ward could sing me into lying to my grandmother. I swear, right to her face.Anyway, suppose you'''re Conor Oberst. You'''re a prodigious songwriter; some have even tried to slip you the Next Dylan pill. On the other hand, your voice''¦not so unanimously praised. And yet the ladies think you'''re hot (emo) stuff, your star has never been brighter, and you'''re putting out an EP featuring the gorgeous ballad ''"Smoke Without Fire''"''things are good. Here'''s my point: Do you want any part of a duet with M. Ward?
Watch this live performance of the track from last month'''s show at the Hollywood Bowl and judge for yourself. Zeus, err, M. Ward starts bleeding charisma at about 2:25.

theyve been playing together like this since at least 2001..every time ive seen it, sounded damn good to me. if anything, i think it makes conor sound better cause he knows he has to try harder to come even close to m. ward.

M. Ward has a voice.. but conors a genius.
