Mark Kozelek's recent AC/DC fixation spills over onto yet another mini-album of unusual covers. This time, the Red House Painters singer-songwriter has selected ten vintage Bon Scott-era tunes to reinterpret in his distinctive drowsy folk style. Stripping away the nails-on-chalkboard caterwauls, ear ravaging guitars and caveman histrionics, Kozelek gets down to the very essence of the words and melody, rendering most of the songs unfamiliar but wholly captivating. The opening "Up to My Neck in You" recalls his own band's sad laments, while cheekier tune like "Love at First Feel" and "Walk All Over You" are elevated by the gorgeous, tear-stained readings. He is a brave man. (AIDIN VAZIRI)
