With one critically acclaimed record under their belt and a highly anticipated sophomore album Outer South on its way, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band are set to release “One of My Kind” on April 15th, a documentary that will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the band’s journey over the past year and a half.
