Product Review

Over the years Mark Kozelek of Sun Kil Moon and his earlier band, Red House Painters, has gained well deserved praise for his extraordinary songwriting. At the same time he has developed a parallel reputation for his unique covers of other people s material. Many of these tracks were recorded for tribute albums that are now unavailable. Caldo Verde Records has now collected them in a cohesive, 10-song LP titled The Finally LP. Highlights include a bluegrass version of ''Lazy'' by Low, ''Bedtime Lullaby'' from the children s show Yo Gabba Gabba! and an intimate, acoustic version of Stephen Sondhiem s ''Send In the Clowns'' recorded for the Minneapolis Bridge Disaster Benefit CD. The album also includes radio show rarities, a previously unreleased version of Husker Du s ''Celebrated Summer'' and two original instrumentals.
