Folk's busiest man M. Ward, who recently confirmed a sequel to She & Him's Volume One (with the über-adorable Zooey Deschanel), has also finally confirmed the details of his new solo album, which we wrote about not too long ago (TMT News). Titled Hold Time, the album is scheduled to drop on February 17, 2009, courtesy of Merge, and features guest performances by Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Lucinda Williams, Tom Hagerman (DeVotchKa), and, of course, Zooey Deschanel.

Can't stand the wait? This old video of a Late Night with Conan O'Brien performance featuring M. Ward, Neko Case, and Jim James should tide you over.

Hold Time tracklist:

Meanwhile, we'll have to wait at least a year or two before we hear recordings from his songwriting super group with My Morning Jacket's Jim James and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst.
