Great Albums (Among The Leaves/Sun Kil Moon)
Mark Kozelek's voice disarms you in the opening track itself. Kozelek keeps it simple, playing a nylon string guitar and singing, occasionally accompanied on the drums and bass guitar.
Personal Picks: "Sunshine In Chicago" is an uplifting ode to the windy city. "Red Poison" and "That Bird Has A Broken Wing" have a classic Californian sound. "Among The Leaves" is probably the most approachable song on the album. "Elaine" is a suite-style masterpiece.

The Spiderman 2 soundtrack is one of my all-time favorite compilation albums. This is a particularly beautiful song from the collection.
