Leo Kottke - Power Failure

Review by Robinsh Kumar

Power Failure, the latest album from the legendary guitarist Leo Kottke, is a masterclass in acoustic fingerstyle guitar. The album features 10 tracks that showcase Kottke's virtuosic guitar playing and his unique approach to songwriting.

From the opening track "Power Failure" to the closing track "The Room at the Top of the Stairs," Kottke's intricate guitar work is on full display. His fingerpicking is lightning fast, yet precise and controlled. He seamlessly weaves together complex melodies, harmonies, and rhythms, creating a sound that is both intricate and beautiful.

While the album is primarily instrumental, Kottke does sing on a few tracks, such as "Little Martha" and "Living in the Country." His voice is soft and gentle, complementing the delicate guitar work.
