Meanwhile… I'm Still Thinking

This album has the 1963 and 1967 versions of the “Blind Joe Death” songs, and it’s all quite incredible.

It takes a lot of work to become this good at something, and it must wear a guy down to do it for years and get as little recognition as John Fahey got…

Keepers:

On Doing An Evil Deed Blues
Poor Boy Long Ways From Home
Uncloudy Day
In Christ There Is No East Or West
Desperate Man Blues
Sun Gonna Shine In My Back Door Someday Blues
Sligo River Blues
I’m Gonna Do All I Can For My Lord
West Coast Blues
