5.0 out of 5 stars Jaw-droppingly good, November 25, 2001

This review is from: My Feet Are Smiling (Audio CD)

I was a newly hatched "rock" "critic" in Leo Kottke's actual birth-town back in Seventysomething, and this record arrived in one of the first critpax from the record company. I placed the needle on the slab, and damn if my ears didn't flap back into my brain. It was painful but revelatory. This is one of the four or five finest acoustic guitar albums ever released. It comes from a time when Kottke still wore folk/country influences on his sleeve but was still prepared to knock some doors down. "Standing in My Shoes" is slide-godlike. "June Bug," etc., the same. The medley that ends the set is a marvel of touch and taste. If you like acoustic power and you don't already have this one, my god, save yourself: click now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Awesome, September 28, 2002

I have had this CD for about two years and the songs and guitar playing never cease to amaze me. I own a lot of CD's and this one is the best (as a guitarist Jimi Hendrix, Roy Buchanan and Kottke are my idols). At first his voice might seem unappealing but "Hear the Wind Howl" and "Standing in My Shoes" grow on you and have become my all time favorite Kottke songs. Put it on the stereo and ask your friends how many guitarists are playing (that is always fun). No one who enjoys music of the last 100 years can dislike this CD, bottom line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing album!!!, July 12, 2002

I first heard this when my father was playing some of his albums. He put on Busted Bicycle and I listened to it for a moment and then asked how many people were playing. He told that it was just one guy. My jaw dropped. No way one person could be playing all that. But there was only one person.. Leo Kottke is one of the greatest acoustic guitar players of all time. And this is perhaps his greatest album. Everyone that appreciates musical talent owes it to themselves to get this. You will not be dissapointed.
