Reader Reviews
John Fahey was a major guitarist, both for his own work and for his influence on Leo Kottke, among others. But he also was a bit too eager to release (or in the case of this CD, re-re-release) material. This is nice background music, but as a demonstration of his technique or fire, well, nope. I have a huge collection of Christmas music, and the different sounds fill different needs. Some are stirring and vibrant (think Christmas Cantata), some, like Odetta, dig deep and touch strong emotions, some are cheerfully goofy and nostalgic, like Bing or Dean. But this is just a little too whitebread, the kind of thing that you barely notice, just hums along amiably and suddenly disappears...Uh, oh, need another CD. Traditional tunes, traditional arrangments, traditonal playing. Nice enough, but that's all.
