The long-awaited solo album from Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes is set to be released on August 5, 2008.
The release will mark the talented Oberst’s first solo project, and because of the success of Bright Eyes in recent years, there are rather big expectations, which can often be unfair to the artist.
But that’s just one of many ironies that can happen to musicians who create a buzz with a band and then go solo.
