John Fahey - Fare Forward Voyagers (Soldier's Choice) (V0)


One man and his acoustic guitar. No vocals, no real strong structures. Does this work?

Oh yes, oh God yes it does. To say Fahey is incredibly good at the guitar is an understatement. He is nothing short of a genius at his instrument, and his ever-changing rhythms and expressive playing style have been emulated the world over (not to mention he created an entire new genre of music, American Primitivism). So put on some good headphones, relax, and let Fahey tell his magical, musical story. Words are overrated, anyway.
