Cary Brothers, an accomplished singer/songwriter releases his first official full-lenth. "Who You Are" is an album that features some old favorites and some excellent new work by Brothers.

Starting with Jealousy, "Who You Are", makes a pretty solid start. The melancholic and rich musical arrangement of the song mixes well with the strong lyrics and Brothers' vocals are in top shape. Ride is a strong son, which was recognized by peers in the music industry. Dutch dance DJ, DJ Tiësto, made this song in a huge dance hit in 2008. But the original song can stand on its own quite well. Cary Brothers makes good use of samples and his breathy vocals are perfect for this indie song.

Title track and single Who You Are has a good indie rock quality to it. The energetic and powerful drive of the song makes it a suitable single and Brothers' strong vocals only add to this effect. Good songwriting and solid delivery. The beautiful ballad The Glass Parade is one of the album's best songs. Great vocals and amazing arrangement. The gentle sentiment in the song is very present and makes it even better.

Honestly is the real gem on the album. Cary Brothers does everything right on this song. It suits him as a person and a musician. He embodies the music and spills his heart out in this beautiful and powerful ballad.

The uptempo The Last One has some influences from the indie scene again and would make a very good radio song. While it's not my favorite it has a catchy ring and very interesting, danceable beat. The beautiful, intimate Loneliest Girl In The World has a distinct singer/songwriter quality that is very impressive and shows Cary Brothers in optima forma.

And also on If You Were Here, Cary Brothers excells. The song flows nicely and has a recognizable melody. Combined with the empathic, breathy vocals there is much to enjoy for the fans of the genre. Think Awhile is another, mainly acoustic, singer/songwriter song. And this suits Cary's vocals so well that I just can't get around it that these subtle, stripped-down songs are something he does best.

Brothers remains the gentleness and subtleness on All The Rage. His vocals thrive on these kind of songs and in the intimacy and personal connection that the song portrays, Brothers reaches remarkable heights. On the album closer Precious Lie, he's accompanied by piano. The magical, elegant mood of the song is perfect for the lyrics and Cary's passionate and honest delivery make this one of the very best songs on the album.

His Grammy-winning Blue Eyes is a bonus track on the album. I don't think anyone can deny the strength of the arrangement and powerful delivery. This is a song that was worthy of a Grammy and I'll leave it at that.

Many people know Cary Brothers' music from numerous TV shows and soundtracks like "Garden State" but on "Who You Are", Brothers shows that he is quite capable of filling an album with strong and solid songs. Cary Brothers is a valuable addition to the singer/songwriter scene.

When I tell people I'm going to SXSW they usually ask "Who's playing?" This is a hard question to answer not only because there are thousands of bands, but also because most people haven't heard of the bands I'm into into. Yeah Katy Perry will be there (whatever!), but I'm more interested in the lesser-known-emerging indie bands like Honey Claws, Drew Andrews, An Horse, and Loney Dear.

One band that can hang with both the popular crowd and geeky indie kids are The Decemberists. And although they're not a household name (my mom has never heard of them), they're headlining Stubb's on the opening night of the music festival on Wednesday March 18th--which is one of biggest honors you can get at SXSW (R.E.M. had this time slot last year). The Avett Brothers will play right before them, so this is a no brainer, I'll be there for sure.

In no particular order, here's my ambitious list of bands I plan to see (if my legs can handle it):

The Avett Brothers, M. Ward, Honey Claws, Theresa Anderson, Deastro, Miranda Lee Richards, The Golden Filter, Hot Panda, Peter Bjorn and John, Nico Vega, Meiko, Heartless Bastards, Dan Auerbach, Angus and Julie Stone, School of Seven Bells, An Horse, Drew Andrews, Julie Doiron, Women, Mixtapes & Cellmates, Handsome Furs, Vetiver, Michna, Christopher Willits, Anathallo, Dosh, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Manchester Orchestra, Horse Feathers, Pete Rock, Balmorhea, Cut Off Your Hands, Meiko, Blitzen Trapper, Cary Brothers, Flosstradamus, Tanya Morgan, Chanel Campbell, J-Boogie, The Uglysuit, Camera Obscura, Loney Dear, Asobi Seksu, Solid Gold

There's no way in hell I'll ever actually have a fully completed list of all the bands I've ever seen, my memory just isn't that good. I'll pretty much just be doing this with the help of old gig tickets, memory and by pestering friends to remember for me :D

Opening Credits:
NOFX Quart in Session

Waking Up:
Arrested Development Mr. Wendal

First Day At School:
Ben Kweller I Don't Know Why

Falling In Love:
R.E.M. Driver 8

Fight Song:
Donavon Frankenreiter Butterfly

Breaking Up:
Colin Hay I Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You
Incredible that that came up, pretty spooky as it's a perfect fit.

Life's OK:
The Beatles Nowegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

Mental Breakdown:
Jeff Buckley Lover, You Should've Come Over
I couldn't have chosen a better song, you can almost picture the scene, rain falling onto a window, low lights.

Driving:
Tom Waits Eggs and Sausage (In a Cadillac With Susan Michelson)
First song that doesn't really fit.

Flashback:
Creedence Clearwater Revival Cotton Fields
No way, if I ever make a proper film this is how I'm choosing the soundtrack.

Getting Back Together:
Rage Against the Machine Settle For Nothing
Well, at least it would be an interesting scene for getting back together.

Wedding:
Radiohead Morning Bell
I would've been very freaked out if it got our actual wedding song, but I could easily hear this as part of a slow wedding montage.

Getting pounded:
rage aginst the machine Know Your Enemy
Another great match,especially when the song kicks in, it would be a pretty violent pounding.

Birth of Child:
Cat Stevens Sitting
I'd happily play Cat at the birth of my child.

Final Battle:
Franzal Rhomb Fraud

Death Scene:
Cary Brothers Love Song
Another match that' so good that it's spooky.

Funeral Song:
Cake She'll Come Back to Me
That would be a little disturbing for my wife.

Thanks Ichifi, I had a lot of fun doing that.
