An album as good as ‘Ghosts Of The Great Highway’ should never go out of print. Ghosts continues – even finetunes – the work Kozelek did with his former band, Red House Painters.

These songs are virtuously stoic Americana– all shimmery guitars, measured tempos, malevolent moods and wandering melodies.

His voice sounds like Neil Young’s, especially in the effortlessness with which he hits the high notes then returns to a lower, earthier texture.

‘Ghosts Of The Great Highway’ is a travelogue of sorts, speeding through the Midwest and the West; in this sense, it’s the male equivalent to Lucinda Williams’ ‘Car Wheels On A Gravel Road’, especially in the imperfect mirroring of physical terrain and emotional geography.

The band Kozelek assembled for Ghosts – Anthony Koutsos (Red House Painters), Tim Mooney (American Music Club) and Geoff Stanfield (Black Lab), along with a few guests – ably but subtly bolster his lyrics and vocals, generating a steady clip that never flags. The result is an album as hypnotic as highway divider lines whizzing past.

Includes original bonus track ‘Gentle Moon (Acoustic)’.
