Clear Heart Full Eyes

The first solo record from The Hold Steady bandlead/songwriter. Band features members of White Denim, Ghostland Observatory and more. "I'm calling this record Clear Heart Full Eyes. It's a juxtaposed reference to Friday Night Lights, a TV show that excited and moved me and also happened in Texas. Further, "Clear Heart" signifies honesty and transparency, and "Full Eyes" suggest experience. Thus, it's about being optimistic and open without succumbing to the weariness or doubt that comes with age and experience. To me, that is what it's all about. I hope you enjoy the music. I am very proud of it." – Craig Finn
