| | Mark Kozelek Rock N' Roll Singer CD Mark Kozelek Discography of CDs
This EP is the solo debut of Mark Kozelek, mastermind of California's Red House Painters, who quickly moved from lower-case American Music Club status to kings of the mope-rock roost. As evidenced by some of his previous artistic choices, Kozelek has a knack for carefully placed perversity and expertly veiled irony, and he continues that trend here.
As in the past, Kozelek makes some willfully bizarre choices of cover tunes, tackling no less than three AC/DC tunes and one by John Denver. The master stroke here is that when he applies his mournful Nick Drake-via-Tim Hardin voice and elegantly picked acoustic guitar to these songs, they sound completely at home in his repertoire. The three original tunes are fully up to the level of Kozelek's Red House Painters work, full of casual beauty, gracefully presented sadness, and artful fragility.

Magnet (8-9/00, pp.81-2) - "...As breathtaking as [his] early work....you may have heard the song before...but it's never been quite so soothing."

Like much of the Red House Painters' work, OCEAN BEACH is marked by an overriding sense of despair, but Mark Kozelek, the Painters' founder and guiding force, has a way of transforming his melancholia into seduction.

Rock N' Roll Singer album
$9.89 
An unlikely classic, Mark Kozelek's 2001 LP WHAT'S NEXT TO THE MOON reimagines AC/DC's balls-to-the-wall rock as indie pop lullabies-or Red House Painters or Sun Kil Moon songs (the singer-songwriter's much-loved projects of the 1990s & `00s respectively). Far from resorting to a gimmick, Kozelek sticks with lesser-known compositions by the Australian band, discovering the tortured longing beneath songs which at face value might seem mere odes to sex and the hard rocking life.
10 songs arranged by Mark Kozelek with lyrics by the legendary AC/DC singer, Bon Scott. This album is a beautiful acoustic treasure from one of the greatest singer/songwriter's of our generation.Rolling ...

Bobby Darin had left Atco Records by the time Things & Other Things (1962) hit the shelves in mid-1962. But the artist's popularity would turn this seemingly monetarily-motivated odds and sods collection into a relatively successful package for the label. The dozen songs were taken from practically as many different sessions, some of which date ...
