Full-length solo album debut by Mark Kozelek released on Badman Recording Co. His ep-debut Rock 'n' Roll Singer from 2000 contained three of his own songs alongside three AC/DC covers (tracks #4, #7, #10) found on this, but this entire collection of songs are ALL originally credited the Australian heavy rock band AC/DC. Undoubtedly, by strong re-arrangements and transformed to a completely different stylistic setting, Kozelek manages to make these his own, and some are simply wonderful re-arranged compositions, though I just don't find it that great.
