Who You Are is the first studio album by American indie rock singer Cary Brothers, released on May 29, 2007.
The first single from the album was "Who You Are". The album was produced by Chad Fischer and Greg Collins. The album contains a hidden track titled "Blue Eyes," which was originally on his debut EP, All the Rage. The album also contains three other new versions of songs previously found on his two EPs: "Honestly" from All the Rage, as well as "Ride" and "Loneliest Girl in the World" from Waiting for Your Letter.
All songs written by Cary Brothers, except "If You Were Here" by Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway
1 / "It's the music that plays in your head before that first kiss with a new crush, and the music that radiates in your ears as you walk home after they break your heart. It's the kind of music you can tie to memories so vividly that repeated listens conjure the smells, the tastes, and the other sensory images of the best (and worst) days of your life... it will be this album that solidifies the artist as one of the most entrancing in a budding musical landscape." - Jason Tate, ABSOLUTE PUNK
2 / "Who You Are is an impressive debut... The acoustic core of his debut album is augmented by Chad Fischer’s sensitive production, encompassing Daniel Lanois’ chilled-out panoramas and the intimate warmth of Joe Boyd at his best. This combination finds convincing expression in the lilting simplicity of “Honestly” and the truly beautiful but all too brief, “Loneliest Girl In The World,” where guitar picking is graced with icy trickles of piano and reverb-wreathed strings. “Ride” would lift the most cynical and leaden of hearts clear into the stratosphere." - Sid Smith, BBC Music
3 / "Well crafted, beautiful, and simply perfect pop album" - Music Glob
4 / “It's the kind of record that you want to listen to all the way through.” - Entertainment Weekly
5 / “On Who You Are [Brothers] consciously strives for something much more than just a singer-songwriter album fleshed out with typical studio players. The Nashville-bred Brothers was raised on moody Brit-rock acts such as The Smiths and The Cure…awash in reverb, dreamy synths and shimmering guitars, Who You Are harkens back to the bands that inspired him.” - No Depression, July/August 2007
