Wow. Every time I hear one of Leo Kottke's songs I'm just blown away. I'm learning to play guitar and I can only hope to be able to play like this one day. I probably don't have the perseverence to reach this level but it's nice to dream :)

Most excellent!
Reminds me of Ledbelly. He used to do similar magic with a 12 string |

Yes we like Leo - but he's also got a beautiful baritone voice - "Louise" for example. Now that IS special.

He plays 6 & 12 string guitars in various open tunings and quite often with slide. In person he sounds like 2-3 guys at once. And is a very, very funny guy.
David Lindley is another one. Strange tunings on frightening sounding (his words) instruments. Also very funny. Sort of a rock n roll version of Leo. Much respect to both in this comparison. |

This reminds me of "Martha" by the Allman Brothers off of Eat a Peach. Anyone else hear this?

Not to discount Leo's talent, but can he only play in 1 or 2 time signatures?....ever?

Excellent tune.

If Leo Kottke had not existed, it would have been necessary to invent him, if only to give us mere mortals a vision of what is possible .... damn he's good!

I believe that you are correct. This is a later version from the "One Guitar, No Vocals" CD; hence just the guitar.
My upload, BTW.
