Mudlark is American guitarist Leo Kottke's fourth album, his first on a major label (Capitol) and his first to feature other musicians. It reached #168 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts.
Recording started in Los Angeles and later moved to Nashville. Four of the cuts were recorded in Wayne Moss's garage studio in Nashville. The song "Room 8" is titled after a neighborhood cat named Room 8 who wandered into a classroom in 1952 at Elysian Heights Elementary School in Echo Park, California and lived at the school each winter, leaving in the summer.
It was re-issued by BGO Records (CD101) in 1990 and by One Way Records in 1995.
