I was a huge anti-Conor advocate for the longest time. I hated the fact that he was being hailed as the Dylan of our generation. But the more I explored his body of work, the Bright Eyes stuff and now the Mystic Valley Band stuff in particular, I've really grown to respect Conor Oberst. "Four Winds" was phenominal, especially "Stray Dog Freedom", and the two Mystic Valley albums have proven to be very entertaining.

I don't know if I can get behind ALL the hype, but I understand it a lot better now. Anybody new to Bright Eyes should check out "Lifted". Definitely a great way to familiarize yourself with Conor's style.
