John Fahey sings! Some Summer Day #2

[holden415]

Clapton really is such a faggot.

Hey - don't knock John Fahey - he did more for the blues and roots music genre than probably anyone in the latter half of the 20th century.

[busessuck1]

I don't get it... is he pretending to be a real bluesman?

Patton did Some Summer Day which was the first recording made in the arrangement of Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen"... this sounds more like a whiney impression of Robert Johnson than Patton

gosh, i take a back seat to nobody as a fahey fanatic, but i'm glad his off-key caterwauling didn't creep into the other 99% of his music!

[mradamcooley]

fahey is god.

[d1esl0winnit]

hes definitely better than eric clapton and his tired old blues riff. i stress the singular.

[BlueBlueFeelin]

why compare clapton and fahey. clapton's amazing.

@BlueBlueFeelin

Sure Clapton is great, but Fahey is greater. 

[BlueBlueFeelin]

@DiamondSoul whatever you say

[blueturtleblues]

@mradamcooley tht's true , tht's the fuckin truth

[WatchinDeTellybox]

Excellent stuff Russel, thanks for posting this. I've never heard Fahey sing before. Class ;-)

It's great to hear his singing, but you can kinda tell why he focused on his instrumental strengths. There's another example of his singing on The Voice of the Turtle.

Thanks again.
