If you don't.listen longer and harder.be HONEST and then you'll see the light. 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. No one, and I repeat: NO ONE can touch Leo Kottke on acoustic guitar.
I love this album so much I bought two. Leo Kottke is so talented. This album is incredible. Even though there are no lyrics, you can feel the emotion coming through the music.
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.
HMR Music Lover ESSENTIAL CD FOR A GUITARISTGuitar playing does not get much better than this. A pure delight from start to finish, one of those CD you can play over and over and hear more and more amazing Rifts.
Try to play like Leo, die. 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. Again, I've got maybe half of these tunes in my repertoire.
But you need to buy "Greenhouse" to compliment it- "Last Steam Engine Train" and "Bean Time" should be included in any comprehensive early studies. Play "Busted Bicycle". So you think you know how to play guitar.guess again, bar rag breath, you're not even close.
Thought I did this once already, can't find it. There is nothing you have heard or ever will hear that is even in the same category as this album. Get drunk for free.
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. Or just say goodbye to your left hand after five years.
