M. Ward is amazing. Try his newest project Monsters of Folk - its a calibration of M. Ward, Jim James, and Conor Oberst/Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes. Amazing stuff, incredible live. I saw them a few weeks ago

Mystic Valley Band is alright, I saw them live too. If anything, go with his new stuff, Monsters of Folk - its a lot less depressing (which is why he doesnt make Bright Eyes music anymore, although there will be 1 final album recorded in 2010 - now THATS depressing)

But yeah his voice is very different from most, i personally love it and love all the emotion he puts into his music. If you've never listened before and don't like depressing MVB or MOF is the way to go

You should consider giving Right Away, Great Captain a listen, its a side project of Manchester Orchestra. Tons of emotion in his album The Bitter End, give it a listen
