Balance is an album by American guitarist Leo Kottke, released in 1978.

On this album, only Whine and Dolores are Kottke's familiar acoustic guitar solos.

Learning the Game is a straight ballad rendition of the Buddy Holly classic.

The remaining tracks are essentially rock songs.

[1] Even Embryonic Journey is given more of a rock band style of treatment than in Jefferson Airplane's original version.
