Description
John Fahey suddenly caught the ears of folk musicians and many an amateur guitar picker (like myself) when this very limited edition album came out in 1964. It's hard to compare to any other music. His intricate compositions with cascades of mutating phrases sound in a way like what comes out of a big church pipe organ, not a small wooden box with a hunk of solid wood attached to it.
And it definitely sounds "southern"--such as the tunes that might be called dirges since they echo the sorrows of plantation slavery. We folk groupies had never heard anything like it, lo, 56 years ago. And I haven't since. I don't want to sound corny, but if you are in the right mood when you hear it for the first time, it might give you little goosebumps.
(We also have the original 1964 "Blind Joe Death" LP by Fahey offered for sale. Click above to see our eBay store inventory.)
I bought this new in 1965 and enjoyed it very much over the years, but now it needs to find a new home.
Two photos of the vinyl held in hand give show the overall excellent condition of the vinyl.
