About this album
Leo Kottke’s 6- and 12-String Guitar is a breakthrough acoustic guitar album that announced one of the instrument’s most distinctive modern voices. Issued in 1969, the debut found Kottke translating folk, country blues and classical ideas into intricate solo pieces that set a new benchmark for fingerstyle playing. His quicksilver technique and dry wit give the record remarkable range, from the propulsive drive of The Driving Of The Year Nail to the stately sweep of Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring. Widely admired by guitarists and critics alike, it helped establish Kottke as a major figure in the American acoustic tradition.
