The fertile performer assembled The Mystic Valley Band to back him on his self-titled solo picture, which surfaced in early August and shot to No. 1 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart. The players--guitarists Taylor Hollingsworth and Nik Freitas, bassist Macey Taylor, keyboardist/trumpeter Nate Walcott and drummer Jason Boesel--are besides backing Oberst on the road.
The eponymous set first Baron Marks of Broughton Oberst's twenty-five percent solo record following 1995's "Soundtrack to My Movie," which he released on cassette as a stripling. The new album, which showcases the performer's brand name of Nuevo Americana, is streaming in its integrality at Oberst's website and MySpace page.
The singer's main music vehicle, Bright Eyes, released its sixth studio effort, "Cassadaga," last year. That album's lineup includes Bright Eyes full-timers Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott along with special guest performers including Gillian Welch, Janet Weiss (formerly of Sleater-Kinney) and Ben Kweller.
The new record isn't credited to Bright Eyes because Mogis was busy with other projects when it was recorded in Tepoztlan, Mexico, earlier this twelvemonth, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
