John Fahey-The Legend of Blind Joe Death
Sunday, January 17th, 2010
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…

The John Fahey Christmas Album
Thursday, December 24th, 2009
There are all sorts of Christmas albums. I’ve never heard one more appropriate to listen to on Christmas eve when all of the presents are wrapped and under the tree, fire in the fireplace (real or imagined) blazing, snow on the ground, Santa in the sky. A Christmas sigh of relief, courtesy of a true artist.
