A classic 1981 release,《Guitar Music》is a self-explanatorily-titled instrumental album by one of the most wide-ranging guitarists of his era. Leo Kottke is influenced by a huge variety of musics, as evidenced by the covers of《Tumblin' Tumbleweeds》,《All I Have to Do Is Dream》and a glorious country-blues version of Santo and Johnny's classic suite is one of Kottke's most impressive compositions ever. Varied yet subtly linked, these six pieces are small gems. The new age aspects of Kottke's mid-'80s releases have their roots in this extended work, but there's nothing amorphous or muzak-like about this album.
