read the myths near the bottom of the page some guy who knew fahey disputing some common myths/misconceptions interesting stuff, even though I don't agree with most of his opinions. but the facts are fascinating, especially Fahey making copies of riffs and repeating them in the studio... he sampled/looped himself, in like 1967! |

The last I read of you, you and your girlfriend broke up. You were possibly moving. Perhaps I havent been in the right threads (technical threads, I'm sure), but it looked to me like you hadnt posted in a while. So it's just nice to see you.

I've posted like a billion things lately. Haha.
But yeah me and the girl broke up, she wants to get back together. It's "Complicated", my life feels like a Woody Allen movie. |

Released! ...and waiting for arrival by post. Will report back with reaction. Can't wait to load these discs into all 5 spaces in the CD changer and pore over the book. Kind of wish they each came with a lathe-cut 78 of a randomly chosen track from the set. |

I got it and thought it was kind of underwhelming. Lots of recorded converations/extemporaneous thought, some unremarkable (to my ears) group improv with nameless drifters... Makes the John Fahey Trio disk sound good by comparison. I really like a lot of the latter-day Fahey stuff too, just not this. Womblife is where it's at for late Fahey experimentalism, IMHO. And those guitar/organ duets w/ audience member on Brudenel Social Club bootleg. I wish someone would rerelease the mid-60's Finland only(?!) "Raga Called Pat" EP. Or a ten inch with "Raga Called Pat" parts 1-4 would be awesome, even though I have those tracks elsewhere. |

Yeah, since I have everything else he put out, I kinda had to get it. A lot of $, but glad I did it. Not every track is one you will want to hear over and over again. He does vocal imitations of elderly country blues singers, which are difficult to listen to. He does some pranks by incorporating lyrics about existential philosophers into country blues song. He does several flute duets, which are not my favorite. He does some vocal duets with someone who sounds like an amatuer church singer. Intermingled with all these are solo guitar instrumentals of increasing solidity, ingenuity, and grace. He started these recordings before he was 20 years old, they are chronological, and end in the mid sixties. You hear his style and influences develop over those years. There are many tracks on here that are early, alternate versions of tracks which would later end up on his classic Takoma LPs. In several instances a song will evolve over several recording sessions, adding and losing parts; such as Night Train to Valhalla, Portland Cement Factory at Monolith, CA, & The Trancendental Waterfall. If you know his catalog, these songs are highly distinctive, and their development is sure to fascinate. By discs 4 & 5 he has generally dropped the singing and pranks, is really streching out and defining his style, and getting experimental. These discs contain previosly unreleased compositions worthy of inclusion on his classic Takoma LPs. Much of it was originally slated for inclusion in the ledgendary, labyrinthine, apocryphal Voice of the Turtle album(s), which was/were at one point planned to be a double LP. There are a few tracks that incorporate backwards vina, which are awesome. The book contains exhaustive information on the sessions, breaks down and analyses each track, lots of new photos, essays, a previously unpublished interview, and a nice poem by Byron Coley. I love this kind of set. However, I could see myself making a playlist of the songs I wanted to hear repeatedly, and not revisit the others very often. Such a playlist would still be pretty long. My set, ordered from Dust to Digital, included a Fonotone Records bottle opener. This set would not be a good introduction to Fahey, there are several best-of collections that would be infinitely better for that. This is for the hardcore Fahey fans, and for those fans this set is a long time coming and is essential. I was expecting it to cost more, and would have bought it anyway. |
