Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts Of The Great Highway

A few years ago, I was meandering around the Ashland Mall, perusing the shelves of cds when I happened upon Ghosts Of The Great Highway by Sun Kil Moon, a band that I had never heard of. After a quick trip to the listening station and a subsequent trip to the register, I headed to my car with my new found treasure. Since that day, Ghosts has been my default autumn album and continues to make its way back into my rotation, usually after I forget about it for a few months and then have the pleasure of rediscovering it. That's not to say, however, that it is in any way forgettable.

Sun Kil Moon is the brainchild of Mark Kozelek [former Red House Painter] and has the timeless quality of Paul Simon and John Lennon [though nowhere near the same amount of acclaim].

It is November and the leaves are changing; your breath is a cloud in the air. If you're looking for the perfect soundtrack for this time of year, look no further. It is a beautiful and incredible album.
