Name me an artist who didn't get the fame

Leo Kottke:
An artist I love but that most people I know have never heard of.  Found an 8-Track of 'Ice Water' in the parking lot at a state park when I was in my late teens and have owned it on every format since.  I am partial to guitarists anyway but 12-string is a whole other level.

That's not a song you can sit down and play along with.  The odd tuning and crazy picking style are hard enough but throw in the classical themes and it's like trying to score Shubert by ear.  I imagine he influenced a lot of people like the Watkins kids and Elephant Revival group.

That is most likely what my redneck friend form Oklahoma would like.
