Conor Oberst Plays New Songs, Sounds like Dylan

Thanks to Stereogum we now know that Conor has fully embraced his early days Dylan comparisons, so much so that he's trying to write Bobby Dylan tunes, it seems. I Got a Reason #2 already sounds like late-60's Dylan before you hear it, and when you do it's much the same. That's not bad, I much prefer this song to a few of the tunes from his first solo effort, but I hope he doesn't take to this style of writing for his next batch of songs entirely, because it's hard to find another Joan Baez.
