{"product_id":"leo-kottke-6-and-12-string-guitar-lp","title":"Leo Kottke - 6- And 12- String Guitar (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith the 1969 release of 6-AND 12 STRING GUITAR, Leo Kottke established his pre-eminence as a guitar virtuoso and composer of quirky, pop-inflected pieces. Harmonically adventurous and technically dazzling, this album showcases Kottke's penchant for infusing traditional elements of folk guitar with more modern, even impressionistic harmony and tonality. Kottke inspired a revolution in acoustic guitar playing, and this record provided the opening volley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Driving of the Year Nail\" starts things off with a relentless fingerpicked chug, featuring splashes of open harmonics executed with the delicacy of a ballerina. Kottke proceeds to combine the familiar with the strange--each of these brief pieces (around three minutes and under) has the effect of being simultaneously charming, and a little twisted. For example, \"Vaseline Machine Gun\" starts with \"Taps\" played with a bottleneck slide, then morphs into a thumb-and-slide frenzy. Bach's \"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring\" is the exception, given a straight and loving reading on six-string guitar. This is pure steel-string joy, with liberal doses of irony and ecstasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolo performer: Leo Kottke (acoustic 6 \u0026amp; 12-string guitars).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in 1969.
