Transfiguration of Vincent, released in 2003, is the third studio album by singer-songwriter M. Ward. The title alludes to the 1965 album The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death by John Fahey, and refers to the life and death of Vincent O'Brien, a close friend to Ward (not Vincent O'Brien, the renowned Irish horse trainer dubbed "The Master of Ballydoyle", who is still alive).
