TUESDAY BLUES! Sun Kil Moon - Carry Me Ohio

Sun Kil Moon - Carry Me Ohio (2003)

A dip of Americana here - Sun Kil Moon are former Red House Painters singer Mark Kozeleks band (named after Korean Boxer Sung-kil moon) which I first heard back in 2003.  I know its not for everyone, but I love his eerie ghost-like voice, singing overs gorgeous guitar melodies with a sprinkle of melancholy that makes me want to listen over-and-over again it features on the album Ghosts of the Great Highway.

A few years ago I took my lovely wife to Dublin to see him live (It was the nearest venue - honest!) and I thought he was brilliant but I admit my plan slightly backfired as a combination of the local Guinness, exhaustion and his quiet singing style was a musical tranquilizer and almost put us both to sleep

"...look at this guitar, you are getting very, very sleepy..."
