iTunes Review
Bright Eyes is essentially Conor Oberst, a young critically acclaimed songwriter from Nebraska who began releasing music at the age of 14 and issued two albums simultaneously in 2005. Wide Awake is the acoustic-based collection that best reflects his strengths as a singer and writer. (The other release Digital Ash in a Digital Urn trends towards British goth-rock and electronica.) Fans admire Oberst's frail, intimate voice, which is reminiscent of a younger, less secure Paul Westerberg. His confessional lyrics can sometimes give the listener the uneasy feeling that they're eavesdropping more than listening to a finished album. Guest vocalist Emmylou Harris joins Oberst for several tracks here, the most effective being the politically charged "Landlocked Blues." Though it's Oberst's habit to surround himself with friends (his guest musician list is voluminous), he's best keeping it simple, as the touching ballad "The First Day of My Life" clearly illustrates.

This is the first day of my life
by Kayla4The album has such a variety of different songs. One for every mood, which is uncommon to find such variety on a single CD. Normally all the songs have a similar feel but with Bright Eyes its different!
First Day of My Life<----It's a must!
Genius Sidebar Find...
by indigoblue123Found them on my Genius Sidebar and they are REALLY good, I want to buy the whole album, never heard of them before but they are Awesome! This is why i love to stray from the top 100 charts, and more people definitly should. To me this kind of music is so much more meaningful to listen to than the manafactured voices of todays radio stations. It's not even the best to listen to but it has so much heart in it, it's amazing.
