Ghosts of the Great Highway

The first Sun Kil Moon album, with three songs named for boxers and a 14-minute centerpiece.
Sun Kil Moon, 2003

Kozelek wrote all the lyrics and music and produced; Anthony Koutsos, Geoff Stanfield and Tim Mooney are credited. We found no studio or recording dates. PopMatters called "Duk Koo Kim" the centerpiece, said that on "Carry Me Ohio" it can feel as if the band is working too hard to make the song develop, and preferred "Gentle Moon". Metacritic: 84 from 18 reviews; Rolling Stone gave 3.5 stars and Mojo, Q and Uncut four.
