Product Description:
Conor assembled a special band in Mexico for this recording, known amongst themselves and to friends as The Mystic Valley Band. Members include Nate Walcott, Jason Boesel, Macey Taylor, Nik Freitas, and Taylor Hollingsworth. The result is his first solo album in thirteen years, following 'Water' (1993), 'Here's To Special Treatment' (1994), and 'Soundtrack To My Movie' (1995). In that time, he's recorded and performed in Commander Venus, Park Ave., Desaparecidos, and most notably Bright Eyes, his main musical vehicle for the past decade.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - O-Boy simplifies, results are the same
This is album is a win-win situation. For Oberst, its a break from the well orchestrated and intricate Bright Eyes. For fans, its another amazing album from the younger generation's greatest troubador. Oberst and friends headed to Mexico to record this album and it definitely shows. The whole record has a very loose feel to it. The songwriting isn't as perfected as you would see on a Bright Eyes album, with lines like "When they drive the cars up and down the beach/its ridiculous and everybody knows." ... Read More
Rating:  - Favorite this year
No doubt he's a great songwriter. Now, with this one, he's become one of the best.This is his best album to date.Lucid, clean, relaxed and as always, well done.Maybe his Highway 61 Revisited.From the opening Cape through I don't want to die in a hospital and on to the end every song is more listenable top to bottom than any of his other albums.
Bright Eyes is good stuff but top to bottom too deliberate and self-aware for my tastes.This has a few raggedy edges, plenty of pop freshness, ... Read More
Rating: - Good album
I love all the Bright Eyes albums so I bought this and have been happy with it. It didn't immediately grab me the way some of this other work did, but still a good and enjoyable album.
Rating: - Thoughtful and Intimate, but not Flawless
"Cape Canaveral" blew me away from the instant I heard it.The opening track epitomizes what modern folk music is about: image-heavy, personal, intimate, and giving us a hint about how Sam Beam would sound if he were darker and more confessional. This song may be worth the price of the CD.
I was lying down while I gave this album its first listen-through, and "Lenders in the Temple" made me sit up with a start.The riff and vocalization (not the voice, but the pronunciation and double-tracked ... Read More
Rating: - 3.5 Stars.... A detour or a new beginning?
Conor Oberst has been recording for many, many years as the essentially one-man band Bright Eyes (surrounded by an ever-changing cast of support personnel). Last we heard from Bright Eyes was last year's excellent "Cassadega" album. Seemingly out of nowhere, Oberst decided to change direction and he went to Mexico to hole up and record a new album under his own name, obviously purposly so. (And let me add my disgust that Amazon is billing this as "Conor Oberst by Bright Eyes", just horrible.)
