Ice Water is the seventh album by guitarist Leo Kottke.

It contains Kottke's only charting single, the Tom T. Hall composition "Pamela Brown".

Ice Water peaked at #69 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts.

Kottke has stated that he recorded the vocals for the entire album while lying on his back after being told by an Air Force sergeant that this position helps open the diaphragm and could improve one's singing voice (Kottke amusingly admits that "it didn't work").

Among the instrumentals, "A Good Egg" is just the kind of light-fingered, light-textured virtuoso piece that one buys a Leo Kottke album expecting to find, and much of the rest shows off his talents in some unexpected directions.
