Kottke Live Is Simply Amazing I first bought this on vinyl as an import when it was released in 1980. I own very album Leo Kottke has ever released (including the long out-of-print Circle 'Round the Sun). For my money, no one plays guitar like Kottke. Most of these songs are from Kottke's Chrysalis albums. And since Chrysalis has deleted their entire Kottke catalog except Essential Leo Kottke, this is the only way to hear some of these Kottke gems. Highlights include the seven-minute-plus "Open Country Joy: Theme and Adhesions. " This CD rerelease also adds two bonus cuts: the instrumental "Range" and Kottke's lovely version of the Tom T. Hall chestnut "Pamela Brown," which first appeared on the Capitol album Ice Water. This album was recorded while Kottke was in Europe touring in support of Procol Harum. Even if you already own the studio versions of these songs, this will make a nice addition to your collection. RECOMMENDED.
