The unlikely partnership between acoustic guitar pioneer Leo Kottke and Phish bassist Mike Gordon continues with the long-awaited first new album in fifteen years. Couching late-night melancholy in a summer lilt, the album features eleven tracks of warmly askew songs and intricate playing, and the intimate third voice created by Kottke and Goron, two of the most accomplished and idiosyncratic instrumentalists in American music.

Eric clapton has fashioned albums in many different styles and with many different themes, yet few have the sense of oneness that pervades Slowhand. It was recorded at Olympic Studios in South West London in May 1977 and was produced by Glyn Johns.

Contains music notation for sixty-one guitar songs, selected as among the best in rock music released prior to the late 1960s, and includes melody lines and lyrics, guitar tablature, chords, and diagrams, and instructions and notation for other instruments.
