Songs for a Blue Guitar is the fifth studio album by Red House Painters, released on July 22, 1996 in the UK, and a day later in the US. It is effectively a Mark Kozelek solo album, since no other members of the band are listed in the liner notes. The album introduced heavier, electric guitar driven rock to their sound in songs like "Make Like Paper", and Kozelek's cover of Paul McCartney & Wings' "Silly Love Songs".

Retrospective is a double-disc compilation of Red House Painters' songs from the band's 4AD era. The compilation was released in July 1999. Disc one is a collection of definitive Red House Painters tracks culled from their debut album Down Colorful Hill through 1995's Ocean Beach, as picked by 4AD label owner Ivo Watts-Russell. Disc two, subtitled Demos, Outtakes, Live (1989-1995), is a collection of unreleased demos and live recordings from their 4AD years

best red house painters album ever. LP arrived in good condition. Opposing musical perspectives between 4AD and Mark Kozelek saw Red House Painters depart from their long time label, signing to the ill'fated Supreme Recordings for the release of Songs For A Blue Guitar. Often considered a Kozelek solo work, Songs For A Blue Guitar, while keeping largely true to traditional Red House Painter themes in both music and lyrical theme, welcomes elements yet to be explored, at least to this extent, within the band's repertoire

Album · 1996 · 11 Songs. Red House Painters released four incredible albums in the ‘90s before things fell apart, leaving singer Mark Kozelek effectively alone to record the 1996 LP Songs for a Blue Guitar. Bridging to their earlier works with emotional numbers like Have You Forgotten and Trailways, Kozelek balanced everything perfectly here; covers like All Mixed Up (The Cars) and Silly Love Songs (Paul McCartney) saw Kozelek taking off in a new direction, electric and pensive. Band or no, Songs for a Blue Guitar is vintage Kozelek. Songs for a Blue Guitar Red House Painters.

Before Songs for a Blue Guitar could appear, the Red House Painters' itarist Mark Kozelek had to leave his old label 4AD (allegedly over a Kozelek solo album 4AD rejected), split up the band, and find a new home for his music on Supreme Recordings. Fortunately for Kozelek and his audience, it's worth all the tumult. This is the solo album Kozelek wanted to make masquerading as the Red House Painters album; no other Painters are listed in the liner notes. The benefits that resulted from his freedom from the group setting are evident on Songs for a Blue Guitar.
