The Kid on the Mountain is an album by American guitarist Duck Baker that was released in 1980. It was reissued on CD in 1999 and 2013 with four bonus tracks.
Reception
Music critic Alex Henderson, writing for Allmusic, wrote the album "is hardly the work of a Celtic purist. But it's certainly the work of an artist who isn't afraid to take risks, and Baker's chance-taking spirit makes for an interesting, unorthodox project that can hardly be called generic."
