5 out of 5 stars My First Kottke.......2007-02-14

This is the first Leo Kottke album I ever purchased when I discovered him in 1974. I was amazed at his ability and have amassed a collection of just about everything he's ever produced. He comes to my town every other year or so and I never fail to see him. "Ice Water" is one of my favorites, simply because it's such a mix, fantastic instrumentals and quirky vocals, especially Tom T. Hall's "Pamela Brown". No one can do this song quite like Leo with his "geese farting" voice. Leo is a treasure. His music is superb and his stories have no equal.

5 out of 5 stars music that survives the decades.......2006-08-07

Leo Kottke is amazing--and especially when you see him perform all that sound with a single guitar. I loved him when i was a 70's chick and i love his music today--true talent is timeless. I like his voice and it reminds me of Johnny Cash now that I hear him as an adult--and he couldnt'sing that perfect either! Thisis my favorite CD i guess because it's the one I listened to when I was in college and when I saw him in person in Oklahoma. One cut on a movie soundtrack today and he'd be out in front.

2 out of 5 stars Not one of the best.......2004-03-16

Personally I think Leo's at his best when playing straight acoustic 6 or 12 string guitar, which is by far the lesser part of this album. The guitar work is there on this album but it's diluted by a lot of heavy-handed production, excessive studio musicians, Leo's bad singing and often trite lyrics to top it off.

I suppose if you're a real Leo Kottke fan you'll put up with his singing but for me it's a detraction here. I also hate it when Garrison Keillor sings on his radio show so maybe that's indicative of something. The guitar playing would stand on its own just fine though.

Not to say that Mr Kottke should never sing - apparently at one point he had to cut the guitar dynamics for awhile because it hurt his hands, and some of his later work has much better lyrics and more of a personal touch, albeit with less guitar stuntwork. "That's What" as well as "Peculiaroso" are good examples of such. The music is quirky, funny and creative there.

Anyhow I think a lot of the other reviews of this album are written by forgiving Kottkeholics, which I'm really not one of. The more typical listener looking for a good intro to Kottke would probably be a lot happier with a classic like "Six & Twelve String Guitar" instead.

5 out of 5 stars One that I did not bring from NY.......2003-08-28

This is one disc that I did not pack when I moved to Houston. I had it on tape but a brother of mine loved it and you know that story. I don't understand why no one pushed the student prince cut as this is a great song and playing that only Leo can do.

4 out of 5 stars outstanding guitar.......2002-02-17

I saw him live several years ago it was hard to believe that one man sitting on a stool all by him self could make that much music. He is the best acoustic player I have ever heard.
