A Shout Toward Noon
A Shout Toward Noon is an album by American guitarist Leo Kottke, released in 1986.
History.
"A Shout Toward Noon" is Kottke's first recording on the Private Music label after a three-year sabbatical, largely due to a difficult tendinitis injury in his hand. Due to the injury, Kottke left the thumb and finger picks that helped define his early style behind, and came back with a new sound. The album features somewhat heavier use of electronic synthesizers. Kottke also
bouncy guitar pieces with nods to jazz, folk, and blues — "A Shout Toward Noon" is dominated by more moody, somber tunes... This isn't to say that there are no bright moments, just that the musical dynamic of this entire album is wider than usual. A Shout Toward Noon is in fact one of Kottke's most intriguing albums, one which amply rewards repeated listening."
