Music for Courage and Confidence is a solo album by the American Music Club singer/songwriter Mark Eitzel.[4][5] One of two cover song albums from him in 2002 (along with The Ugly American), it was released by New West Records and is a collection of songs by different songwriters.
Critical reception
[edit]No Depression gave the album a mixed review, praising the musical backing and production, but writing that Eitzel doesn't have a strong enough voice to put some of the songs over.[6]
