If the sensitive, bookish shtick is your bag (or if it's just all you've got to work with), you could do a lot worse than take your cues from Conor Oberst. The man sometimes known as Bright Eyes has basically parlayed the skinny-guy-who-works-in-your-local-coffee-shop vibe into a multimillion-selling recording career.As befitting a man whose sound has evolved from earnest acoustic to a twangier Americana feel, the Omaha native's go-to style has progressed from hoodie-clad indie naïf to a more rock and roll, Western-shirted, beatnik approach.
His fifth solo album -- "Outer South" -- is out next week, so we decided to show you how to cop the troubadour's look.
