Originally released on November 3, 2003, Ghosts of the Great Highway received superlative reviews, moved quickly to the 1 on college radio and has become one of singer-songwriter Mark Kozelek’s most loved and best-selling albums of his 14 year career.

The original composition “Leo and Luna” appears on a Canadian Compilation entitled See You on the Moon. A live version of “Have You Forgotten” will be featured in the soundtrack The Trials of Darryl Hunt.
