Bright Eyes, Cassadaga (Saddle Creek) Under normal circumstances, Connor Oberst aka Bright Eyes is the kind of guy I want to chaperone to the gym. Aside from his tender heart, his music is generally hit or miss for me. For many others (including one of my all time favorites, Michael Stipe), he is highly revered. Lucky for me the new album brings a twangy approach to many of the songs and is more up my alley than many others I have heard. Its well worth a listen. Definitely check out “Four Winds”. File under: indie, pop.
