Burnt Lips is an album by American guitarist Leo Kottke, released in 1978.
Burnt Lips includes two selections from the soundtrack of Terrence Malick's film Days of Heaven.
Although Kottke did not release an album in 1977, he produced and played on The Wylie Butler by Cal Hand (Takoma TAK C-1056), a Minneapolis pedal steel and dobro player who had played on numerous Capitol releases for Leo.
AllMusic critic Mark Allen wrote: "The subjects of death and betrayal permeate this understandably dark album... His always problematic singing assumes a prominent role, which might not be the best strategy.
He showcases his string wizardry on 'A Dull [sic] Thud' and several other instrumentals.
