Leo Kottke 6- and 12- String Guitar (CD, Takoma Records, 1974) *****
Genre: Folk
Places I remember: Marbecks Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Watermelon
Gear costume: The Driving Of The Year Nail
Active compensatory factors: I can listen to this album over and over again without ever getting bored with it, and I can always tune into little things that I've never heard before.

It's as pure as Leo Kottke got - his vocals on subsequent albums, which also added other instrumentation, presented a different Leo Kottke. Sure - he didn't want to repeat himself. So this album is like lightning in a bottle!
Here he's presented as a solo steel-string fingerpicking guitarist. Pure and simple.
Where do they all belong? Back to the vinyl next (can't wait!)
