The Leo Kottke Anthology is a two-disc compilation of American guitarist Leo Kottke's releases on the Takoma, Capitol and Chrysalis labels, covering the first 15 years of his career. It includes liner notes by Kottke himself for each song and an essay by Mark Humphrey. A number of compilations have been made of Kottke's music by his various record labels. Capitol had previously released "1971-1976", "The Best" and "The Best of Leo Kottke". Chrysalis had released "Essential" and Blue Note released two instrumentals-only compilations in 2003. Reception. Writing for Allmusic, music  critic Richie Unterberger wrote of the album "This has a higher proportion of Kottke's vocals than some might expect, which may mildly disappoint fans who value his guitar virtuosity more than any of his other attributes. It's still a good, well-chosen compilation, leaning most heavily on his first three albums from the late '60s and early '70s, although this comprises less than half the set." Production notes:
