Leo Kottke

Leo Kottke - 12 String Blues: Live at the Scholar Coffeehouse. On the Oblivion Recording Company label. From 1969.

Found today at my old record stores booth at an antique mall. An original copy. One of only a thousand that were printed. It's never been re-printed or reissued on compact disc so there's not a lot of copies to be found. 

Six and twelve string acoustic guitar with vocals. Three songs are instrumentals.
