While not my favorite song on this album, The People’s Key (listen to entire album on youtube), in my humble opinion, is one of the best albums of 2011. And this song in particular happens to be about (as the title states) Haile Selassie - which I find to be obviously appropriate to my blog posts on Ethiopia.
I think Conor Oberst is one of the most prolific writers of modern music. He is truly a troubadour and a poet in his own right. My favorite song from The People’s Key? Jejune Stars. Two other brilliant albums from Bright Eyes that I would recommend: Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground and I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning.
