Just ran across a great 2003 album the other day that I must rant and rave about:

Sun Kil Moon's "Ghosts of the Great Highway".

If you enjoy Neil Young, the Red House Painters, and CSNY when they were great, then you will definitely enjoy Sun Kil Moon's offering.

In fact, the brainchild behind Sun Kil Moon is none other than Mark Kozelek aka Red House Painter fame.

Sound songcrafting engages the listener throughout and the falsetto warbling a la Neil, as well as the alt.country brightness of a
CSNY is pure bliss -- to these ears, at least.

Highly recommended............run -- don't walk.

Cheers,
