Rolling Stone described him as "so good that he didn't need a band." Pete Seeger called him "the best twelve-string guitarist he has ever heard." Kottke is known for his loopy sense of humor and brilliant stage presence.
Says Billboard Magazine,"he actually plays guitar like it's a fishing pole, grinning and grimacing as he verges on losing the catch, then reeling it in just when it looks like its gone for good." www.leokottke.com
