Free Music Notes for Ghosts of the Great Highway
Free Music Review: Yes.
Hit: 5 Stars
So as not to be redundant, I will only say that this album is by far one of the most beautiful pieces of modern alternative music recorded. It rivals U2's The Joshua Tree and I dare say, when it comes to undeserved obscurity, Sun Kil Moon are the modern equivalent of Nick Drake. Just as he was unknown by his own generation and discovered decades later, I wouldn't be surprised if people in 20-30 years picked up Ghosts and wondered why the hell it wasn't celebrated for the beauty that it is.Free Music Review: Gorgeous music from an under-rated genius
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is a refreshing break for music of late. Mark Kozelek has created a masterpiece. While reminiscent of early Neil Young, it is far more penetrating and emotional in it's theme and passion for life. While a tad on the depressing side, there is a level of hope and beauty that pervades each note and instills a sense of calm in the listener. I highly recommend this album to any serious lover of great music.Free Music Review: i love it

I found this album by researching Mark Kozelek after seeing him in Shopgirl. I didn't know that my two favorite songs from the movie were on this album. It's a mellow record, so I listen to it sometimes when I'm stressed and it chills me out. I also listen to it before I go to sleep. Other then Lily and Parrots, all of songs are pretty slow.
It's a great album.

I came to this album with no knowledge of who Red House Painters or Mark Kozolek were. This is the first material I heard from the group. Since, its become one of my favorite albums of all time.
This is the best album of 2003, hands down. It took me until the end of 2004 to stop listening to it on a weekly basis, and was my favorite album of 2004 as well.
Free Music Review: Follow this road!

This is perhaps the finest new music I have heard in the last year. I want to invoke references as diverse as Jim O'Rourke, Neil Young, Thurston Moore, Jimmy Page and Robbie Robertson, but in the final analysis SKM and Mark K. stand alone. This is without a doubt a CD that rewards repeated listening and will etch itself into the soul of posterity.
