 Rating:  - New Recordings not by FaheyInterestingly, it was recently revealed that the three new tracks on this CD are NOT John Fahey, but a high-school teacher and student of the guitar great, Charlie Schmidt.

Now, twenty-seven years later Takoma releases a second volume, 15 tracks and nearly eighty minutes of music from the artist who spawned such guitarists as Michael Hedges, Will Ackerman, the aforementioned Leo Kottke, and Henry Kaiser (who wrote the liner notes in the accompanying 16-page booklet). While Fahey himself deplored being categorized as a folk artist or (heaven forbid!) a new age artist, his influences reaches deep and wide across the musical landscape of both genres. In fact, in his later interviews in the Nineties, Fahey denounced most of his earlier work ... Read More: |
