Listen: Leo Kottke on Mountain Stage

Renowned acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke has a career that spans five decades, dating back to his 1969 debut album 6 & 12 String Guitar. This week we’re revisiting his 10th appearance on Mountain Stage since 1990, including our pick for Song of the Week.

“From Pizza Towers to Defeat” is a track from Clone, Kottke’s 2002 duo album with Phish bassist Mike Gordon. With his trademark bounce and dynamic, jaw-dropping finger-picking, Kottke charms with this “true story” performed live on Mountain Stage.
