Nebraska
6th album
love his work with Bright Eyes
I think it's his voice
Steve Goodman maybe? any takers?
crystal clear excellent lyrics
either guitar or piano based
with some unneeded harmonica
my best of the week keeps getting replaced

fav

i haven't read your thought on the album, I don't want to be persuaded one way or the other until I listen to it tomorrow.
I was going to listen to it today but I chose the Big Smoke one because id never heard of them.

well planned grasshopper

[CRAZY-HORSE]

only own three Bright Eyes albums from memory, love 'em...
great story teller/image maker with his lyrics...
simple piano or acoustic guitar based tunes on here...
harmonica was nice but unnecessary IMO (and MH's also)...
a pretty good album on a first up listen...
its on the to purchase list mow.

from the album, my favourite track from than solitary listen:

MH,
the main problem I have with Conor is that on occasion his voice is quite annoying, but the majority of the time I can listen to a full album, no problem...
the album is good but I prefer the Bright Eyes albums I own
