Mudlark is Leo Kottke's fourth album, his first on a major label (Capitol) and his first to feature other musicians. Recording started in Los Angeles and later moved to Nashville. Four of the cuts were recorded in Wayne Moss's garage in Nashville. It reached #168 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts.

All Music Guide stated "A landmark early album, Mudlark increased Kottke's visibility and helped establish his reputation as a homegrown American original."

It was re-issued by BGO Records (CD101) in 1990 and by One Way Records in 1995.
