Music reviews of What's Next to the MoonMusic Review: For those about to rock?
Whichever way you look at it this is a surprisingly good CD. Mark Kozelek, normally "not very happy" at the front of the Red House Painters, has made a whole CD covering the songs of metal pranksters AC/DC and, without question, it's a success on several levels. If your youth was like mine then you may well have seen AC/DC live, or even owned a record or two, then at least some of this CD will seem familiar, but not in a way you could ever have anticipated. The performance is stripped down to the bare bones of acoustic guitar and voice. In style terms, we are in the territory of pre Oscars Elliot Smith. It's a strange thing that the difference in style gives the songs a totally different emotional feel and appeal from the originals. Meanings of lyrics are transformed from AC/DC's typical crass adolescent chauvinism to heartfelt yearning and an air of lonely desperation, the word "Feel" in "Love at First Feel" for example is transformed from meaning a manhandling to a pull on the heartstrings. None of this however should be taken as a criticism of Angus Young and crew, the songs were obviously very well structured in the first place, (I remember from those gigs that the band could play) such that they can be broken down from bluesy metal rifferama to what could even be loosely be described as folk, and still work remarkably well. Although you would have to say Mark Kozelek's arrangements also deserve praise here. My particular favourites are "Love Hungry Man" which has a longing in Mark's voice that is poignant in the extreme, and "Walk All Over You" which has an air of revenge and hurt about it. So whether you know the originals or not does not really matter, it's a hugely enjoyable collection either way, if rather short at only 30 minutes.
