He inspired me to learn to play guitar...
It's incredible. It was this album, when I was about 9 years old that made me want to play guitar. My dad owned it on vinyl. When I went to college, he made me a cassette because it was out of print. I finally got my copy on CD from this site. If you want to know what makes Leo great, this is the album to listen to. . . no singing. . . just music. .


Dreams and all my jealousy
Mona Ray, Constant Traveler, Hole in the Day, Twilight Property are all favorites of mine. This is one of my favorite Kottke recordings, and I have every one, even the scratchy Circle 'Round the Sun that only came out on vinyl. the magic of Kottke is that I never really select songs on his albums to play as I listen straight through like it's a continuous textured journey. And it is. And this is. Echoes of Mudlark and Ice water resound here.


Dreams & All That Stuff
Leo Kottke is a one of a kind American. Absolutely fantastic. His music is fluid, smooth and dynamic. Just listening to it, is like a claming day in the mountains. I listened to it in the 70's and I am still hooked today.

Cosmic
When it came out, I remember a review characterizing it as "music of the (celestial) orbs". All of Leo's work is great but this album is an apex. It is truly magical and beautiful. It clearly shows what distinguishes Kottke's genius from much of the technically proficient but musically vacuous output of many other players.


An interesting piece of work
It has a nice blend of country, new age, and blue grass. This is my favorite Leo Kottke album. There isn't one bad song on the entire album. My favorite songs are "When Shrimps Learn To Whistle," "Twilight Property," and "Constant Traveler. " Check out the audio samples above.
