Reader Reviews
... as not ever to have heard John Fahey during the Vanguard Years, this album is the cure to the terrible deprivation visited upon you by the tenderness of your years. The only guitarist even capable of open-tuning American Primitive Guitar, the sheer brilliancy of John Fahey is unparalleled and will forever be unmatched. It is a "Spiegel im Spiegel" -- a mirror within a mirror -- of endless dimensionality. If you hear only one thing this man played in his life, let it be "When the Catfish is in Bloom." Sound funny? It's as deep as an ocean. There is not, there never was, there never will be again another John Fahey. And this album is about the best work he ever did. Don't let your life slip away without hearing this. It is a kind of accompaniment to a place everyone goes if they're lucky. Deep in the mind, somewhere in the back recesses of the best of your heart, this 12-string strummed by a genius sings your song.
