 (1 Customer Review)
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 Stone gave Mark Kozelek's debut solo album "Rock 'N' Roll Singer" 3 1/2 stars! Amazon.com awarded "Rock 'N' Roll Singer" one of the "Best of 2000."It's been four years since Red House Painters released the critically acclaimed Songs for a Blue Guitar. While the band had wanted to focus on touring and get a break from the recording studio, legal difficulties ensured that the follow-up, Old Ramon, would be long awaited. It is only now considered for possible release later this year. But Red House Painters‚ singer and songwriter Mark Kozelek still kept plenty busy. He recorded "Find Me, Ruben Olivares" for Badman Recording Co.'s Shanti Project Collection and several tracks for Take Me Home, Tribute to John Denver released by Badman earlier this year. After spending time in Los Angeles working on Cameron Crowe's (Jerry Maguire) most recent film, "Almost Famous," Kozelek casually recorded ten tunes at Badman Recording Co. over the past year and "What's Next to the Moon" became a reality.The album is highlighted by several AC/DC that have been part of his recent acoustic tours. Obviously, a highlight is the title track, an unusual take on AC/DC's "What's Next to the Moon." Kozelek first began playing his interpretation to attentive listeners in Scandinavia and Spain. Not everyone was ready to believe that the tune originally sprang from the Australian head-bangers. It sounded too much like another fine Red House Painters original. In what has become a Red House Painters tradition -- from Kiss‚ "Shock Me" to Yes‚ "Long Distance Runaround" -- the transformation creates an entirely new song."What's Next to the Moon" is available early through CD Baby. It will be in stores in mid-February.

Arranger: Mark Kozelek.Q (5/01, p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Kozelek's sparse, haunting delivery can render even the basest material achingly affecting, and coarse classics are reinvented here as taut, maudlin masterpieces..."
Alternative Press (5/01, pp.92-3) - 4 out of 5 - "...With just his voice and an acoustic guitar, he's made these [AC/DC] songs his own, and in the process created a remarkable LP..."
Magnet (4-5/01, pp.85-6) - "...A flawless display..."
CMJ (2/12/01, p.22) - "...Breaks the tunes in question [classic AC/DC material] down to its most basic elements and rebuilds it in his own sad, sweet, inimitable fashion..."
No Depression (7-8/01, p.129) - "...After being fed through Kozelek's ruminant vibe, AC/DC's music for mullets emerges as music for mulling..."

Throughout the '90s, the Red House Painters established themselves as the bedroom poet princes, a quieter, more retiring take on American Music Club's self-loathing avant-folk-rock. While BLUE GUITAR still bears strong traces of the gentle, acoustic ...

The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly ...
| | Muddy Waters Folk Singer CD (1964) Remastered
What's Next To The Moon songs
$8.49
Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24-karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box.
"You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had" and "The Same Thing" did not appear on the original version of FOLK SINGER. They were recorded at a separate session in April 1964, three months after FOLK SINGER was released.
The title and cover photo of this 1963 recording were an attempt to cash in on the burgeoning American folk revival, but this is pure acoustic blues. Muddy began his career as a Robert Johnson-style solo acoustic performer, and the tunes on FOLK SINGER hark back to those days. He's accompanied sparsely by Willie Dixon, drummer Clifton James and a young Buddy Guy, who provide a stark, deliberate backdrop for Muddy's rich vocal and expressive bottleneck ...

What's Next To The Moon album
$10.15
After years on the shelf due to Mark Kozelek's drawn-out problems with Supreme and Island, the Red House Painters' long-awaited Old Ramon finally sees the light of day, thanks to Sub Pop. As it stands, the label needs Kozelek as much as he needs them -- after a few years' worth of disappointing releases from garage rock revivalists, Old Ramon breaks Sub Pop's losing streak. Ironically, the album's long-delayed release only makes its joyous sound that much more refreshing; its inviting mix of gentle and fuzzy guitars and Kozelek's empathetic vocals make it the Painters' most hopeful, accessible work. Though one of Old Ramon's finest songs, "Find Me, Reuben Olivares," ended up on the Shanti Project Collection, the remaining ten songs ...

What's Next To The Moon album
$7.39
Ex-Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan growls his way through "Methamphetamine Blues" like Small Change-era Tom Waits singing something off of Mule Variations. It's a great, sleazy opener to this EP of "Methamphetamine Blues, Extras & Oddities" from the Mark Lanegan Band's upcoming full-length, Here Comes That Weird Chill. Boasting musical assistance from members of Ween, Afghan Whigs, and Masters of Reality, Lanegan and friends cover every angle of the lo-fi spectrum, from the psychedelic soul of "Message to Mine" to the Nick Cave-like balladry of "Lexington Slow Down." These are not simply four-track renderings of soon to be fleshed-out studio tracks or dull covers -- Captain Beefheart's "Clear Spot" -- ...
