LEO KOTTKE - 6 AND 12 STRING GUITAR (200g LP)

Leo Kottke 6 & 12 String Guitar On Classic Records New Clear "Clarity 200g Vinyl" LP

Hear Classic's New Better Sounding Vinyl Formulation!

The release of this truly iconic album virtually launched Leo Kottke out beyond the St. Paul-Minneapolis confines where he had been ensconced as a local phenom. By jumping on board John Fahey's burgeoning Takoma label, Kottke's guitar wizardry (especially finger-picking a 12-string, usually reserved as rhythm accompaniment) gave other guitarists far and wide, second thoughts. Throw in some sassy slide work on both 6 & 12 String Guitar and you'll know why this particular record is commonly referred to as an Intro to Guitar 101. With twelve original compositions plus a few by J.S. Bach, Kottke's blues, folk, country and classical channelings dictate both his playful and reflective approach on each. Highlights include blazing picking techniques on "Busted Bicycle" and "Vaseline Machine Gun" with some muscular bottleneck slide work on "The Sailor's Grave On The Prairie." This Classic Records release in conjunction with Fantasy was mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood and cut on Classic’s “All Tube” stereo cutting system. This release will be pressed on Classic’s newest 200g Clarity Super Vinyl Profile II. Highest Recommendation!
