What the critics are saying about the music of Ward Morgan:

Quite possibly, Subtle is the best locally produced solo project I've heard in too, too long. Morgan's songwriting has remarkable breadth: sharp, un-prefab guitar/keyboard hooks, an intuitive pop sensibility, lyrics that hint and question rather than browbeat or zone out, and an appealing, nasal-y voice that falls somewhere between those of Tommy Keene and Chris Stamey.

- Michael Yockel, The City Paper

"This east coaster writes some of the prettiest songs I’ve heard in a long time."

- David Bash

On The Hiding Place, which appeared on "Pop Goes The World" RPMUSA

"Ward Morgan's Hiding Place is one of the vocal highlights here, with its desperate pleading tone hitting home."

- Claudio Sossi, SHAKE IT UP

"Thoughtful slow rocker that shows sophisticated touches - in the use of the violin especially - and a subtle grace that carries the tune well."

On Hummingbird, which appeared on "The 3 Minute Revolution" RPMUSA

"First off, everyone must own this disc just for the Ward Morgan track alone. 'Hummingbird' is a splendid slice of modern day Brian Wilson and some other out-of-this-world force. I'm sorry to say it dwarfs most of the competition"

- Pat Pierson, YEAH, YEAH , YEAH

"Perhaps the best track on the album....This is an absolutely gorgeous ballad with a melancholy spirit and a soulful vocal."

- Geoff Cabin, ROCKBEAT

"...wonderful and I love the beautiful imagery and thought that go into his lyrical choices. This ballad is one you will be "humming" for several hours!"

- Ian L. McDowell, 181.4 DEGREES

"A guy you can invite in to your house. Let him fire up your fireplace and sing you some songs."
