While guitar music is generally the province of new age mysticism or head-scarfed wankery, late-’60s folkie Leo Kotke beams like a beacon to nerds and lesser nerds alike.

His speed when appropriate, his subtle, organic folksiness and flair — these things simply cannot be imitated. There was no guitar. He was the instrument from which it all grew out.
