 Leo Kottke - 12 String Blues vinyl

RARE and Out of Print!!

Good condition.

12-String Blues (sub-titled Live at the Scholar), is the first album by guitarist Leo Kottke. It is not a studio album, but was recorded live at the Ten O'Clock Scholar, a Minneapolis coffee house that had also featured Bob Dylan, Spider John Koerner and Simon & Garfunkel early in their careers.

Most of these songs were re-recorded for Kottke's third album Circle Round The Sun. This album, on Oblivion Records, is out of print and has not been re-issued on CD.

Side one

  1. "If Momma Knew" – 2:08 (One of the first songs I wrote. The second actually, around 1962. At the time I considered evil the only virtue worth cultivating.)
  2. "So Cold in China" – 4:06 (The title lyric and, consequently, the idea for the song were stolen from somebody who sang at the Ontario Place in Washington when John Hurt worked there.)
  3. "Furry Jane" – 2:01 (There's not much to say about this one. Its origin was in a couple of nightmares, one of which nearly got me.)
  4. "Circle 'Round the Sun" – 3:03 (The majority of the lyrics are traditional. Another early song.)
  5. "Sweet Louise" – 3:17
  6. "The Prodigal Grave" – 3:01 (This was written in a fit of terror while trying to calm down. It originally contained many more verses which later served only to confuse, so they were discarded.)

Side two

  1. "Easter and the Sargasso Sea" – 2:28 (Columbus got stuck in this sea of weeds. There was no wind. Johnny Quest often goes there on business. Consequently resurrection here is not only promising but necessary.)
  2. "Sunrise" – 2:37
  3. "Living in the Country" (Pete Seeger) – 1:21 (Seeger's great contribution to the 12-string. Originally recorded as a guitar duet with Frank Hamilton. Later recorded at high speed with accompanying whistle.)
  4. "Sail Away Ladies" (John Fahey) – 1:47 (This is John Fahey's arrangement done on Vol.4, Takoma, with Al Wilson and his Veena.)
  5. "The Last Steam Engine Train" (John Fahey) – 1:38 (Fahey's contribution to steam engines. (Vol.3 Takoma) somewhat augmented and re-arranged.)
  6. "You Left Me Standing" – 2:29 (In A.)
  7. "Mary Mary" (I sometimes think people like to hear this song for the same reason they like to watch accidents.)

Add $2 insurance if you'd like...

EDIT:
I added five new pictures, vinyl is in great condition, cover is slightly dinged.  Please look at photos.  Email with questions.  Also dropped price due to cover. :)
