Trackers:

For decades, Leo Kottke would inspire generations of fingerpicking acoustic guitarists

(and help pave the way for New Age and contemporary instrumental music), but this 1969

album is the one that started it all. Kottke's brilliant debut was released, fittingly,

on John Fahey's Takoma label. Showing the influence of Fahey himself (and Takoma labelmate

Robbie Basho), Kottke performs impossibly difficult solo compositions that meld blues,

bluegrass, and jazz techniques. Whether surefooted and quick ("The Driving of the Year

Nail," "Jack Fig," "The Fisherman") or slow and reflective ("Ojo," "Jesu, Joy of Man's

Desiring"), Kottke's instrumental work is simply awe-inspiring. He'd forge an entire career

out of this music and eventually incorporate singing onto his albums, but this gem is

Kottke at his very best. Essential. --Jason Verlinde (courtesy of amazon.com)
