What I'm Listening To #39

....is Conor Oberst's first solo CD. Recorded acoustically while on a retreat in Mexico, "Bright Eyes'" lead singer gets even more intimate...as if that were possible.

Based in Omaha, Nebraska, Conor's vocals are raw and painful, vulnerable and joyful, ALL in a quintessentially American way. He will remind you of Bruce Springsteen, Rufus Wainwright, and John Cougar Melancamp. His lyrics tell stories and describe moments with a range that goes from the poems of Frank O'Hara to the folksongs of Pete Seeger. It's a great CD.

He should visit Mexico as often as he can....
