Finger-Picked Guitar / Progressive Folk / Contemporary Folk / New Acoustic
In terms of musical mastery, few instruments deserve more attention and respect than the twelve-string guitar, and few masters of that instrument deserve that same attention and respect more than Leo Kottke. From his lyrics ("Room at the Top of the Stairs") to his playing ("Wonderland by Night"), this 1994 Private Music release, well produced by Rickie Lee Jones, is at turns humorous, haunting, and highly enjoyable.
This album was my first exposure to Leo Kottke and as such it will be the album I review. I hosted a little blues show at UCF (that's Central FL) here in Orlando for a time and had the opportunity to play many a cd and LP. I played some good stuff, but this album stood out and haunted my thoughts like no other. I didn't even have to play this album when I picked it up I knew I was in for something impressive and I wasn't wrong. This album changed the way I play guitar and it led me to Leo's great body of work. Four years and many hours of practice later I can say that I am a Kottke head and I own all but one of his albums. I've had the pleasure of seeing Kottke live numerous times and plan to make it a tradition as long as he's still touring. Most of the readers of this review are probably already fans so they already know that seeing Leo live is a special treat which I promise you won't be prepared for. Before you understand his playing style it can at times sound like a blizzard of notes, impossible for one man to produce, yet it is perfectly coherent, melodic, and rhythmic. I almost wish I haven't come to know his music as well as I do, now it's harder to just listen with virgin ears. Peculiaroso is a good place to start because it captures many of Kottke's facets. I would also suggest the Chrysalis compilation "Essential Leo Kottke", "6 and 12 String Guitar", or "Leo Kottke Live" to start.
