A perfect collaboration - Kottke was approached by Mike, essentially auditioning for him, wanting to make music together.  Kottke usually goes on his own, but was so impressed by Gordon, they ended up making two lp's together - both really good, this one being GREAT!

The British critic A.A. Gill called himself and his colleagues the " chatterati " and this seems spot-on. BTW, I knew him when he worked in a Soho sex shop before he found fame. It all sort of fits.

I think you mean well, but that is really an awful comment.   I think you should think a little harder on that one.  Seriously.  Some of the things you say are really frightening.  I know many of us say critical and "troll" like things here.  We are just having fun and participating in the art process in what I would submit to you is a most important way.   Why do you read these posts?  Why post here yourself?  Do you realize that because you claim to like practically everything, your opinion on anything is almost ridiculous?  No one takes your praise to heart.  Artist know this, they are not stupid.  Most good and great novelists are also the most severe critics BTW.  Who would take anything you say seriously?  How are you even participating? Criticism is the very lifeblood of art and democracy.  That is truly a shameful comment.  Sorry Cy.  I still like you though.

very fine! I first thought I was hearing Arlo Guthrie ... from his Running Down the Road album ... now I need to compare the two. :)

I love pretty much everything Leo Kottke does - this is such a jaunty, happy tune, and deceptively difficult to play!  (Think octopus-fingers.) He's an astonishing guitarist.... {#Clap}
 
I'm pretty convinced he must have an extra hemisphere in his brain. (Richard Thompson, too).

blech!

There are a million, " Genius," guitarists out there who make music that only appeals to awestruck guitarists. There's a reason why most people have never heard of them.
