Conor Oberst - You Are Your Mother's Child

Conor Oberst, sometimes singer/frontman and/or member in Bright Eyes, Monsters Of Folk and many other bands, released his sixth solo album last year titled Upside Down Mountain. It's a wonderful collection of songs, including the quiet ballad "You Are Your Mother's Child", on which his only accompaniment is an acoustic guitar. There's something almost eerie about Oberst's voice that speaks of infinity or the eternal heavens, and when it's as naked as here, it's hauntingly beautiful.
