5.0 out of 5 stars ghosts of red hose painters 6 Jan 2004
Format:Audio CD
After the 'rollercoaster' album and 'ocean beach' i felt things went downhill a bit for mark kozelek, maybe it was just me. The mentioned albums were written by him and performed by 'red house painters' After dis-banding RHP he decided to go solo which didnt realy do it for me, but i never thought he didnt have another great album to give us. This is it.
I hope any RHP fan will love this as it brings back to life some of those great moment from which RHP were at their best. With 2 former members of 'red house painters' on here one wonders how long till they reform.
Some of the tracks on here go on for what sounds like too long, but it never is as Kozelek knows when things are working right and sounding good. This album sounds totally timeless, and with Mark Kozelek's apathetic vocals its a sound you sink into and let yourself be transported to wherever feels right.
At times previous efforts have been too acoustic and one dimentional, but now on 'ghosts of the great highway' we have enough electric guitar to satisfy and even a string quartet which i have always wished for alongside Kozelek's voice.
It's almost impossible not to press 'play' once this cd finnishes as some of the tunes stick in your head all day demanding another listen which will reveal something new about each of them. This album grows with each listen and i feel will stay with time. Total quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best yet from Kozelek 22 Mar 2004
Format:Audio CD
I have been a big fan of Red House Painters for nigh on two years now having first heard them (bizarrely enough) on the Vanilla Sky soundtrack album, which featured, what I later discovered to be, an alternative version of the beautiful and haunting song "Have You Forgotten". The song blew me away and I found myself playing it constantly. I decided to check out more and so I tracked down (with some difficulty!!) the Songs For A Blue Guitar album, which I loved.
I went on to purchase several other albums ( Retrospective, Ocean Beach, Old Ramon etc.) and dug them too. So, on hearing of Mark Kozelec's new project Sun Kil Moon I didn't hesitate before ordering a copy. I approached it with high hopes, but to say that I was NOT disappointed is an understatement!!
Whilst it is similar in almost every way to the Red House Painters (especially later) work this does not detract in any way from it's brilliance. It is indeed RHP..... only better!!
Although I enjoyed RHP's albums it's hard to deny that they all contained moments of incredible beauty, interspersed with some "filler". This album however has none of the latter and PLENTY of the former. It's consistency is such that it is difficult to single out particular tracks for specific praise, but "Ohio", "Last Ride"/"Floating" and the 14+ minute epic (there's always one isn't there?!!) "Duk Koo Kim" are outstanding.
To any RHP fans who may hesitate before purchasing this album all I can say is..... DON'T, you won't be disappointed. Ghosts Of The Great Highway is a stone classic, and it's easily Kozelek's best and most consisdent work to date.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lunar Eclipse 31 Mar 2004
Format:Audio CD
In this album Mark Kozelek has made the record he's been threatening to for the last 12 years. It's a beautiful, melodic, and lyrically mature work and has the consistency throughout that so often eluded Red House Painters. Which is not to say that they weren't transcendent at times, but "Ghosts..." never lets up; the folky strum of Glenn Tipton, the thrilling fuzz-guitar of Salvador Sanchez, the gorgeous chiming arpeggios of Gentle Moon: These are some of the best songs Kozelek has ever written, arranged perfectly and performed with enormous zeal by his "new" band. Even the epic Duk Koo Kim holds the attention over its 14 minutes, and when the album closes with Pancho Villa's acoustic guitars and strings it begs to be replayed. Former RHP fans should buy with confidence and anyone else who wants to hear a master songwriter at the top of his game should do so too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure Which Will Resonate For Years to Come
It is the writer's view that this is the best thing that Mark Kozelek has done to date. 'Glenn Tipton' seems like an innocent enough Neil Young-esque porch song, until you realise... Read more
