Their debut album, Ghosts of the Great Highway, was written entirely by Kozelek, and released by Jetset Records in 2003. It is an album centered around the theme of memory, connecting Kozelek’s haunting memories with the true-life stories of deceased boxers, such as featherweight champion Salvador Sanchez and flyweight Pancho Villa. Kozelek’s music with Sun Kil Moon spans genres such as the simple acoustic country-folk of “Glenn Tipton” to the heavy, Crazy Horse-esque rock of “Salvador Sanchez” and the light-hearted “Lily And Parrots,” onto the fourteen minute psychedelic tour de force, “Duk Koo Kim” (another homage to a deceased boxer) and the beautiful and haunting “Gentle Moon” and “Carry Me Ohio.” Kozelek’s voice is now more flexible and less downcast than in his work with Red House Painters, resulting in a resonant and often beautiful album.
