Yeah, the version on "The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death" is a bit different from this.

Hiowdy!!!...actually this is a sort of mashup of "Worried Blues" and "How Green Was My Valley:...Cheers! Blind Brand X...

This song proves he is a robot.. listen to how he speeds up and slows down the picking tempo with the pitch (key) he's playing in! Robot!!

@ProLit Don't exaggerate.........Hendrix is untouchable!

@porkytard That wasn't my experience at all. In the fall of 1969 I read a review of The Yellow Princess, ordered the LP , put it on my very cheap little portable player, and 60 seconds in, I was hooked and have never stopped being so. RIP John.

all the fuckers that say fahey is average should listen to fare forward voyagers or america (the voice of the turtle and mark 1:15). his entrancing power never ceases to amaze me

Is just amazing



evolution of this fahey fan:
(1) hears of some freak named john fahey who composes for acoustic guitar.
(2) is dazzled by the technical prowess.
(3) listens beyond the superficial and finds the indescribable.
(4) ascends.
(5) picks up a guitar.
(6) descends quickly.
(7) goto (3). repeat until DEATH.
