Leo Kottke's "Other" Great CD No one, and I repeat: NO ONE can touch Leo Kottke on acoustic guitar!! Give this a listen and see/hear if you don't agree. This one, along with the one with him juggling the oranges, wearing the black, long-sleeved shirt ["My Feet Are Smiling"] are Leo Kottke's best CD's. If you don't. . . listen longer and harder. . . be HONEST and then you'll see the light!.
Beautiful album
Even though there are no lyrics, you can feel the emotion coming through the music. This album is incredible. Leo Kottke is so talented. I love this album so much I bought two!.
12 strings
Bought based on info from a friend. . interesting music but not a 'feel good' album. . . . I find I only play it occasionally. . . kinda off beat stuff.
6 and 12 String Guitar Leo Kottke
A pure delight from start to finish, one of those CD you can play over and over and hear more and more amazing Rifts. ESSENTIAL CD FOR A GUITARIST
Guitar playing does not get much better than this.
HMR Music Lover.
So you want to play the 12 string-2
Again, I've got maybe half of these tunes in my repertoire. Thought I did this once already, can't find it. If you play guitar like Leo, you too will get CTS, try doing a little Rory Block or Cory Harris - bust your voice a bit, not your left hand. Try to play like Leo, die. Or just say goodbye to your left hand after five years. There is nothing you have heard or ever will hear that is even in the same category as this album. But you need to buy "Greenhouse" to compliment it- "Last Steam Engine Train" and "Bean Time" should be included in any comprehensive early studies. So you think you know how to play guitar. . . guess again, bar rag breath, you're not even close. Unless you're an understudy of John Renbourne, you don't know diddly squat about the guitar until you have listeed and tried to learn this album.
Go into a bar with your 12 in a low C tuning. Play "Busted Bicycle". Get drunk for free.
