Circle 'Round the Sun is the third album by American guitarist Leo Kottke, released in 1970.
History
Eight of its eleven songs are studio re-recordings of songs from his first (live) album 12-String Blues. Although they should have been improved by being recorded in a professional studio, there is noticeable oversaturation in many of the songs, causing his vocal to break up. Kottke has often been quoted as being unhappy with the recording quality.[1] It has not been re-issued on CD.
Reception
Template:Music ratings Writing for Allmusic, music critic Chip Renner called the album "This is a good, hard to find record."[2]
