Review

Fingerstyle guitar legend Leo Kottke has released his share of duds over the years (virtually all of his albums with the exception of his seminal 6 & 12 String Guitar have a few throwaway tracks), but this disc is one of his most consistent efforts. Originally released in 1972, it features Kottke's trademark blend of playing--an infectious mix of New Age (still not invented at the time of this recording) and bluegrass sounds--as well as a few surprises. "Bean Time" has classic Kottke wizardry; it's a tune many proficient guitarists are still trying to figure out. "In Christ There Is No East or West" features Kottke on the 12-string, paying homage to his mentor, John Fahey. Sure, many of us could do without Kottke warbling through "Tiny Island" or "From the Cradle to the Grave," but this is still a great recording, loaded with some of the greatest playing to ever happen on acoustic guitar. --Jason VerlindeReissue of the folk-rock guitarist's 1972 album for Capitol Records. Features the original cover art & all 11 of the tracks from when it was first issued. 1995 release.
