Popular with fans and critics, the album features some of Mark Kozelek's best songs as well as inspired cover versions of Paul McCartney, The Cars and Yes. Review: Great Album - This album really is a Mark Kozelek solo album and because of legal complications the album can be quite hard to get hold of. Hence why the album is only available from third part sellers. It is worth worth getting not just because it is a great album but it must be one of the best mastered albums I have heard. Review: A must have RHP album - Being a fairly new convert to the RHP, my first RHP album was Ocean Beach, and it remains my favourite - perhaps for that reason. Songs for a Blue Guitar was a more recent acquisition – I’ve only had it about two years... and it’s still growing on me. I love the haunting nature of much of Mark Kozeleks work, the way he can make you pine for something elusive or unknown. Many of his songs are simultaneously sad and yet uplifting. It’s the quality and tone of his voice I guess – and he does a great job of getting this across on this album. For me, the key tracks are Have You Forgotten, Songs for a Blue Guitar, All Mixed Up, Revelation Big Sur, Silly Love Songs, and Another Song for a Blue Guitar. Make Like Paper is obviously a favourite for many also (based on how the crowd reacted at the Islington gig in June 2005). Overall, I guess I rate this album nearly as highly as Ocean Beach - and it's up there next to the Sun Kil Moon (Ghosts of the Great Highway). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B010BFQFVG | | Best Sellers Rank | 76,316 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 5,186 in Alternative Rock 17,601 in Vinyl | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (83) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 17149564 | | Label | Island (Universal Music) | | Manufacturer | Island (Universal Music) | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 30.48 x 32 x 2.54 cm; 449.06 g | ## Images ![Songs For A Blue Guitar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zAxRg88DL.jpg) ![Songs For A Blue Guitar - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81F5i7VLZcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Album *by C***X on 17 October 2017* This album really is a Mark Kozelek solo album and because of legal complications the album can be quite hard to get hold of.
