I think Michael Hedges had a similar experience to Leo Kottke, in that he got a lot of attention for his fantastic guitar playing, and then subsequently struggled to find acceptance as a vocalist. Some of Leo Kottke's albums come across as a bit uneven, but I think My Feet Are Smiling, being a live album, lends a continuity to those two elements.
Here's a Michael Hedges album I like, while I'm here. He referred to his own style as Heavy Mental: a lot of percussive hammering and pulling off, and slapped harmonics, in open tunings. He was a forefather to players like Andy McKee and Kaki King, I think.
I love Hedges' "Live on the Double Planet." His vocals, while not wowing, are perfectly fine. Very organic, in solid concert with his acoustic playing.

And going way old school with guitar nerd albums i adore, these piedmont style blues guitarists are favorites and they all feature fast, jumpy, detailed moments of guitar brilliance all over the place, also they tend to be blind for some reason...
Hi Bobby. You listen to the Aerial Boundaries album up there? Becaus that is the one to listen to. If you like, I got albums which don't have guitars you may also like but don't fit in thread.
