Chewing Pine is the last album on the Capitol label by American guitarist Leo Kottke, released in 1975. It peaked at #114 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts. "Power Failure" was originally recorded by Procol Harum, a band Kottke toured with in Europe in the 1970s.
It was re-issued on CD by BGO (CD148) in 1992 and One Way Records (18461) in 1996.
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Bruce Eder wrote of the album "a dazzling amalgam of sounds and styles — there's a surprising emphasis on vocal numbers here... The obvious attempt on Chewing Pine to sell Kottke as more of a mainstream artist and a sometime singer obviously didn't work... There are enough good moments, and even a few transcendent ones, to justify owning this album."
