One of the best cover records I've ever heard. Top-notch, AqDrunk. Top-notch.

(Of course, none of the bands I ever played in were guilty of doing that but we thought we were pretty cool saying it.) This guy -- whom I'd honestly never heard of before now -- would have made all of us proud back in '78. I don't know if his interpretations convince me to classify Bon Scott as an exceptional songwriter (sorry Oz), but I like what Kozelek does. Thanks for the post.

Kozelek's album really brings Bon Scott's songwriting capabilities to the forefront. You never would have known how good that guy was at putting pen to paper. I agree w/ Benj.

Up until its release, I had been aware of Red House Painters but never spent much time with their music. I found a copy of this disc at my local library, and it pushed me over the edge and made me a full-fledged Kozelek fan. I love that once these songs are stripped down, the average AC/DC lyric can end up sounding downright romantic. Love this album.
