AC/DC unplugged done folk style ??
 
Mark Kozelek of the "Red House Painters" has released a new solo album titled What's next to the moon. The album is unique
in the way that it it is made up entirely of AC/DC tracks done in a style which will be foreign to AC/DC die-hards. Mark who is more
reknowned for his delicate, echoing voice and intensely personal lyrics has stripped the AC/DC classics apart and put his own slant on them.
The words are the same put the style is completely different.
for a review of the album see Wall of Sound
The Washington Post also recently reported on this album Click here to view it.
The album can be purchased at Amazon.com
