I have been listening to Leo Kottke for decades – the first time in Chicago around 1983 – he has been performing for 40 years. He is an astonishing guitarist and has a warped personality that really appeals - “When Shrimps Learn to Whistle” (no I can’t steal a copy) is a favourite as is Pamela Brown - “I guess the guy she married was the best part of my luck, she dug him ’cause he drove a pick-up truck”. Friend JS pointed out this interesting Youtube with Lyle Lovett. This wistful masterpiece with Chet Atkins. Good preparation for tomorrow and then Easter.
Kottke is magnificent. I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown is one of those songs. If I correctly recall he also does a very good version Louise.
If you like Kottke , you’ll like John Fahey and I reckon John Prine.
