Product Description
From Amazon.com
Conor Oberst is running on dangerous ground: getting his first Dylan comparisons at 12, frolicking with Winona Ryder, releasing two separate albums at once. Didn't he learn anything from Ryan Adams' mistakes? It's a good thing he can write such haunting, intimate songs. I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (released simultaneous with Digital Ash In A Digital Urn) is the album the Omaha native has always threatened to make, channeling his country rock influences into articulate, witty ballads that come to life with gorgeous harmonies supplied by Emmylou Harris. The tumbling "We Are Nowhere and It's Now" might be his first actual masterpiece, while the words of album closer "Road To Joy" ("I could've been a famous singer if I had someone else's voice/ But failure's always sounded better") indicate that Oberst might have his head screwed on straight after all. -- Aidin Vaziri

Hauntingly Beautiful!,
This review is from: I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (Audio CD)
I very rarely write reviews on amazon. The only reason I write this one is because I was shocked to see how few were written on this wonderful cd; while albums like, 'letting off the happiness' is flourishing in reviews.I started listening to this cd when it first came out while I was in grade 7. I do not remember how I discovered them at such a young age, but my three favourite cd's at that time were: The Shins cd, "oh, inverted world". Death Cab For Cutie's , "plans" and lastly Bright Eyes, "I'm wide awake it's morning". I listened to these three cd's religiously that whole year well hermitting inside my home playing World of Warcraft (I skipped that year of school), songs like 'first day of my life', and 'we are nowhere and it's now' and 'landlocked blues' would bring me to tears. The only reasons I mentioned those other two cd's is because my taste in music has changed a great deal in the last 7 years, and I do not love 'oh, inverted world' or 'plans' nearly as much as I used to, but my love for 'I'm wide awake it's morning' is still as strong as it ever was... If you are looking for a good introduction to bright eyes, or for some reason have never listened to this cd, I could not reccomend it enough; and the gift of Emmylou Harris doing back up vocals really ties the bow on this amazing gift of an album.

This review is from: I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (Audio CD)
To be listned to repeatedly. The appreciation grows with every following song. Sing along with...sure...I do...on the daily. Some of the things said in Conor's songs have become part of my daily thoughts and vocabulary. Very good visual imagery with the lyrics as well. Going to see the show May 18th....really looking forward to it.

best Bright Eyes cd yet,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (Audio CD)
Simply put the best Bright Eyes cd yet. Beautiful lyrics put to well-constructed music. There's more control than in his previous cds and the album flows better than the others. It's the kind of CD you'll want to listen to over and over again
