Leo Kottke paid his annual visit to the Triangle stopping at the Cat's Cradle for another evening of incredible music. Walking on stage carrying a 6 string in one hand and a 12 string in the other he looks more like a roadie than a world class musician. But his persona is such that he stands here and plays a few, sings a few, and tells these weird witty stories while re-tuning. He finger picks his guitars in a special stop and go style that makes his songs highly rhythmic and melodic. His voice is deep and natural. While his song selections were less weird than in previous stops his conversations gave no indications of mellowing. His stories are part of his persona - weird stories of his father and other musicians and road managers that he has met through the years. They are human stories but slightly off kilter just like his tunes. Something's not quite normal here but that's just the way it should be. Calling Leo Kottke a natural treasure make him sound like a museum piece which he's not but what else can you say - check him out.
