    In the more than 25 years that Leo Kottke has been composing, arranging and playing guitar music, his style has evolved from the blindingly fast and aggressive to the rhythmically delicate and intricate. He is always reinventing and reinterpreting his own music and that of others. While you'll usually find Leo in the "folk" section of your record store, or sometimes in the "new age" section and rarely in the "jazz" section, his music is in fact all and none of these: it is simply "Leo."

    Leo Kottke is not just a remarkable guitarist, songwriter and arranger. He also has a rich baritone singing voice, often underrated or dismissed by those used to the top-40 tenor strains of a Van Morrison or a Sting. Yet for a song like Paul Siebel's tenderly tragic "Louise," or for Leo's own vocal compositions and spoken poems set to guitar, a more appropriate vocal timbre is hard to imagine. He also has a capacious sense of humour that can be heard in his lyrics and experienced in his concert performances. Although off-beat and occasionally bizarre, his humour is as much a part of his style as is his guitar. -http://www.guitarmusic.org/kottke
