Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to an entirely instrumental format for Capitol Records, Leo Kottke dazzles with his virtuosic, highly syncopated fingerpicking style. The album eschews vocals to focus purely on his intricate 6-string and 12-string acoustic guitar compositions, further establishing him as a master of American Primitivism.
