Mark Kozelek Releases Live Double-Disc Compilation

On November 28, 2006, a two-disc, 20-song live compilation by songwriter Mark Kozelek will be released by Caldo Verde Records. The compilation, entitled Little Drummer Boy Live, is composed largely of material recorded live during Kozelek’s recent European and North American tour and features songs that represent the entire trajectory of Kozelek’s career, from his early days with Red House Painters to Sun Kil Moon and his solo work. It also features two previously unreleased songs, “Moorestown” and “Unlit Hallway.”

Then, on February 6, 2007, Caldo Verde will re-issue Kozelek’s Sun Kil Moon album, Ghosts of the Great Highway, originally released on November 3, 2003 to great critical acclaim and college radio success. The reissue will include a six-song bonus CD which includes two versions of “Somewhere” by Leonard Bernstein as well as alternative versions of “Carry Me Ohio” and “Salvador Sanchez,” the previously unreleased “Arrival,” and more.
