About this album
Balance is a strong late-1970s statement from Leo Kottke, refining his fingerstyle acoustic guitar approach into something leaner and more song-focused. Issued in 1979, it blends folk rock and acoustic touches with Kottke’s dry wit, relaxed vocals and intricate picking, keeping the arrangements direct without losing his technical command. The album sits comfortably in the period when Kottke was broadening beyond solo guitar showcases, and its mix of originals and interpretations highlights both his instrumental fluency and unforced musical personality. It remains a useful entry point for listeners drawn to his balance of virtuosity, humour and plainspoken songcraft.
