Description

More than ten years in the making, this critically acclaimed box set-originally published in 2011-features the earliest recordings of one of the most influential guitarists of the 1960s and '70s, blues and folk pioneer John Fahey (1939-2001). The five CDs feature 115 tracks, most of which are available on CD for the first time, remastered from Fonotone owner Joe Bussard's reel-to-reel tapes to achieve pristine sound quality. The CD set is accompanied by a book-the first ever written on Fahey-featuring a host of essays as well as a poem by Byron Coley and Douglas Blazek's 1967 interview with Fahey, published here for the first time. Focusing on a critical early period in Fahey's career, John Fahey: Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You is a challenging, engrossing introduction to a figure called "the folk guitar-playing equivalent of William Burroughs or Bukowski" by Pete Townshend.
