Acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke was born in Athens, Georgia, and raised across a dozen states. He began on violin and trombone before switching to guitar at 11, drawing on influences from Mississippi John Hurt to John Philip Sousa.

Albums such as Greenhouse (1972) and My Feet Are Smiling (1973) show his development and refined guitar technique.
