Hope Is a Thing With Feathers is the fifth and final album by the alternative country band Trailer Bride.

Its title bears a strong resemblance to the first line and title of a poem by Emily Dickinson, "Hope" is the thing with feathers.

Mojo Magazine (December 1, 2003): "3 stars out of 5 - [T]here's a mix of twisted folk rock, recalling a less skeletal Palace and early-Nick-Cave-in-a-cowboy-hat rock."

All songs written by Melissa Swingle except noted.
