Of all the Noughties New Dylans, none were more divisive among rock fans than Conor Oberst. The haters found him cloying and overwrought, his champions saw the voice of a generation. On I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning, he fulfills his promise with a toned down, subtle, beating not bleeding heart, confessional alt-country classic. It’s the soundtrack to a million disaffected teenage lives.
