Released under the Takoma label, and catalog number C-1016, this LP features an intriguing blend of avant-garde, folk, and blues music. The album cover is marked by a distinctive illustration of a turtle, aligning with Fahey's often abstract and idiosyncratic approach to art and music. This record includes a mixture of tracks by Fahey himself and other artists such as Blind Joe Death, Hubert Thomas, Virgil Willis Johnston, L. Mayne Smith, and Mark Levine. Known for its rich tape editing and technical experimentation, "The Voice of the Turtle" stands out in Fahey's discography for its eclectic mix of sounds and influences. This collection of music is considered by many as an essential exploration into the depths of American acoustic guitar and makes an intriguing addition to any vinyl collection. Its unique amalgamation of sound reflects Fahey's impact on future generations of musicians and continues to be a work of interest among collectors.
