On Standing in My Shoes, he teams with producer and former Prince cohort David Z for an intriguing, occasionally convincing synthesis of the guitarist's left-field visions and drum loops that suggest exposure to Mellow Gold and Odelay. Some of this music, especially instrumentals like \"Realm\" and the snoozily \"atmospheric\" \"Across the Street,\" is barely a step up from tasteful background sound. Other cuts, though, such as a beat-smart rerecording of \"Vaseline Machine Gun\"--from his legendary first album, 6- and 12-String Guitar--and the Delta-flamenco fusion of \"Dead End,\" demonstrate the wisdom of the Kottke-Z pairing. The title track, another revival of an early Kottke track, also effectively mates groove and stoic soulfulness. His collaboration with Z doesn't mark a great leap forward, but Standing is a modestly brave move. --Rickey Wright\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 010058214625\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0010058214625\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 010058214625\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43709213802755,"sku":"BV-53LL-6A5N","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/412IJcCOgSL.jpg?v=1675352995","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/standing-in-my-shoes","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
