Regards from Chuck Pink

Regards from Chuck Pink is an album by American guitarist Leo Kottke, released in 1988.

The song "Busy Signal" is the only song by Leo Kottke nominated for a Grammy award. He did receive another nomination for his soundtrack when "The Paul Bunyan Story", narrated by Jonathan Winters, was nominated.

Reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Jim Esch wrote of the album "As a whole, the vibe is somewhat lighter in touch, leaning toward jazz and new age shadings with splashes of synth guitar, violin, and electronic woodwinds for accompaniment... Although Chuck Pink doesn't have the fire in the belly of his earlier work, Kottke hasn't lost his feel for a catchy rhythmic groove and his interpretive reach has grown over the years."
