Search - Leo Kottke :: Peculiaroso

Great music, period.

"I have heard some Kottke fans express disappointment over this album. All I can say is, ease up on the wacky tabacky, fellas. "Peculiaroso" is delightful to the rest of us who aren't cursed with your tragic hipness. Every one of the cuts is highly enjoyable, and both his guitar-playing and rumbling vocals are dead solid perfect. Buy this CD -- it's a keeper."

Melodic, quiet, definately worth the purchase

"Nobody seems to have paid much attention to Peculiaroso. I myself enjoy it. As somebody else said, it's perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Leo's gruff, mumbling vocals give the tracks an unhurried feeling, which compliments the offbeat, dreamy vocals and guitar playing. Speaking of which, the guitar work is great - Leo is quite good in this respect, but this obviously is not a trophy album for his technical skills. Sounds good all-around."

"The one line summary review says it all for me. This is his best ever. Period."
