Biography

John Fahey (February 28, 1939 – February 22, 2001) was an American fingerstyle guitarist and composer who pioneered the steel-string acoustic guitar as a solo instrument. His style has been greatly influential and has been described as the foundation of American Primitivism, a term borrowed from painting and referring mainly to the self-taught nature of the music and its minimalist ...

4.0 out of 5 stars I like it a lot 14 Mar 2007
By Gerth Mirthful - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
very tight solo acoustic guitar work. Great sound. Im pretty sure this is just Fahey even though it sounds like two guitarists. Havent heard much of his other stuff to compare it too, but this one holds my attention throughout. Ranges from upbeat in mood to spooky and meditative.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic live album 12 July 2004
By Michael A Watson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
mid-career album from John Fahey that shows what an amazing talent he was. Some slight editing artifacts don't take away from what this man could do on a guitar given a good audience and acoustics. I'm biased as a longtime Fahey fanatic but a close listen to "the return of the Tasmanian Tiger/Funeral Song for Mississippi John Hurt" makes it evident why Fahey was such an influence on so many guitarists. Beautiful stuff here and more accessible than most of his later work.
5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds like his earlier recordings... 25 Nov 2012

I first heard John Fahey's music on his albums, "Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death", and his record "John Fahey, Vol. 4", and Tasmania sounds more like Vol. 4 than it does any of his other work. I really enjoy it, and if you liked Transfiguration or Vol. 4, I think you will enjoy this one also.
