He was also featured on Rhymesayers rapper P.O.S.'s Safety In Speed (Heavy Metal). He released his first solo album, Clear Heart Full Eyes, on January of 2012.
Here is some background information on Clear Heart Full Eyes from the No Future Songfacts . In early 2011 Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn challenged himself to write a new song every day in his Brooklyn apartment for his first solo album. "I had written a bunch of songs that were outside of the norm for The Hold Steady, a little quieter and perhaps more narrative," he said. "I wanted to gain some experience and insight into the process of making a record by working with new people." Finn enlisted producer Mike McCarthy (Spoon) and traveled to an Austin, Texas studio far away from his New York comfort zone. He hooked up with some local musicians there, including members of Phosphorescent and White Denim and sang his vocals live, keeping takes to a minimum and completed recording in a few days. The resulting album, Clear Heart Full Eyes was released on January 24, 2012 on Vagrant Records.

There's a darkness in my body
And I think I might be ready
Maggie, I've been searching for our son
There's a big hole in my thinking
Lately I've been seeing things
Maggie, I'm still searching for our son
If you're down and out
If you still have any doubts
If you doubt that there's a savior yet to come
Stop what you're doing
Close your eyes and keep on breathing
And slowly turn your face up to the sun
It was warm in Arizona
It was cold in Colorado
Maggie, I've been searching for our son
There were crosses on the altar
There was gold in El Dorado
Maggie, I've got blisters on my thumbs
If you're all strung out
If you still have any doubts
If you doubt that there's a rapture yet to come
Hey, pick up the paper
See the stories and the pictures
A kid went to the movies with a gun
There's a house out in the desert
And I lived there with some people
Maggie, that guy said he was our savior
But once he took our women
And turned us into his soldiers
He hit a patch of radical behavior
And the ATF were belligerent
There were handcuffed girls with barely any clothes
There was power in their numbers
There was silver in their holsters
And the trucks as they rolled slowly up the road
There's a darkness in my body
And I think I might be ready
If you're stuck down south
If you still have any doubts
If you doubt that there's a heaven yet to come
There's a darkness in my body
And I think I might be ready
Maggie, I've been searching for our son
Maggie, I'm still searching for our son

Almost two years later and I still can't believe that something I made is part of this video! I love this song and the whole album, but nothing beats the sensation I get when I see those letters at 1:17. You're awesome, Craig!
Tyler Ronk
Craig you crushed it at the Cactus Club Friday night. I am so glad I got to see you perform and you are perhaps one of the most down to Earth musicians I have ever encountered. Cheers from Milwaukee!
