Description: Leo Kottke was initially inspired by fellow southern blues and country masters such as Mississippi John Hurt, Chet Atkins, and Roy Clark. As a young artist, Leo Kottke recorded for John Fahey's legendary Takoma label--garnering sometimes unfair comparisons to that gentle giant of guitar hoo-doo. Subsequently, pickers from Ry Cooder to Jim O'Rourke have been influenced by the work of these elder brothers who laid the groundwork for the atmospheric, improvisational noodling that's sometimes called chamber-folk. Following along these lines, Kottke displays his heritage proudly on the simple yet remarkably nimble One Guitar, No Vocals. "Three Quarter North" is a bluesy, deliciously sloppy waltz interspersed with broken bits of phrasing like the easy, mumbled drawl of front-porch conversation, while the album's longest piece, "Accordian Bells," rises and falls, tinkles and plays like tiny tip-toe dancing. --Paige La Grone

Reviews:

Catagory: Leo Kottke

This is an excellent instrumental outing by guitarist Leo Kottke, featuring a dozen intricate solo tracks. A co-worker had overheard this and asked, what kind of music it was. I was at a loss for a few seconds, before replying, Leo Kottke. It is a sound consisting of numerous genres and influences, when at the end is just a man communicating through his guitar. Good stuff.

If you like to write instrumental guitar...

...youll love this. Ive been a Kottke fan for about 5 years now. I have a few of his albums and this one seems to be the most mature. Unique approach to writing and playing. Not for the musically faint of heart, he tends to go off on musical rants...but thats a main reason WHY i like him.

This is the first guitar record i show players who are wondering about the limits of acoustic guitar.
