------------------------------------------------------

Idiosyncratic doesn't do Leo Kottke's style justice but it's the best one-word I could come up with. And yea, his guitar playing is idiosyncratic to a point but his influences are clear (Delta-style) as are his amazing skills. But Leo Kottke sings, too. A strange quavering baritone that seems to be in constant search of a centered drone but makes due with a tune.

This record is Kottke's third, released on Symposium records and never released on CD (ha!). Eight of the 11 songs are studio versions of his first LP – 12-String Blues which was recorded live at the Ten O'Clock Scholar coffee house in Minneapolis in 1969. That's! the record to have (released on Oblivion Records it's out of print and was also never released on CD (ha!)) and I haven't. Yet.

Here's what Leo says:
Whereas with Circle ‚'round The Sun, the mistakes were made in pursuit of something. [Circle] was supposed to be the professional version of [12-String Blues]. That's why [Circle] sucks and why [12-String Blues] is whatever it is. The vocals on [Circle] were [makes yodeling sound]. On [12-String Blues], you can hear a door opening on it. It was recorded with two old EV dynamic mics on goosenecks and a Viking quarter-inch tape recorder. Man, I‚'ll never forget it.

I certainly wouldn't say this record sucks, in fact I like it. I like it like I like homemade apple pie and Budweiser and things that are made by whittling. I like it for all its quavering baritoned yodeled quirkiness and amazingly beautiful 6 & 12 string guitar.
