Cassadaga by Bright Eyes
Cassadaga is an album by Bright Eyes, released in 2007. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Four Winds”, on 7 lists with a best position of #10.
Cassadaga, the eighth studio album from Bright Eyes, arrived on Saddle Creek on April 9, 2007, named after the town of Cassadaga, Florida. Conor Oberst's Omaha outfit cut somewhere between 25 and 30 songs during 2006 and kept 13 of them, with Mike Mogis producing and arranger Nate Walcott in the fold behind Oberst's quavering voice.
It's the most lavish Bright Eyes record yet, leaning hard into country and folk rock with a baroque-pop sheen, and a crowd of guest singers turns up along the way: Z Berg of the Like, Sherri DuPree and Stacy King of Eisley, and Rachael Yamagata. "Four Winds" is the rowdy centerpiece, a rollicking, rootsy stomp. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, the band's best showing in the US, Rolling Stone put it at number 12 on its list of the year's best, and its packaging won the Grammy for Best Recording Package.
