Extra-Infos: 1971 Album
Description:Fahey fans know that this 1971 album is one of his best-but what most don't know is that it was intended to be a 2-LP set. Nine of the songs were dropped just before it's release; here they are-for the first time-with the rest of the original album!
"America" is a remarkable CD by the legendary American guitarist John Fahey, released under the renowned Takoma label. This album showcases Fahey's innovative approach to acoustic guitar, blending elements of folk, blues, and avant-garde music into a unique soundscape that has influenced generations of musicians. "America" stands out for its intricate fingerpicking techniques and evocative compositions that reflect both personal introspection and broader cultural themes. John Fahey was a pioneering figure in American Primitive Guitar style; his career spanned several decades during which he released numerous influential albums such as "Blind Joe Death," "The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death," and "Fare Forward Voyagers." His work earned him critical acclaim and established him as one of the most important solo guitarists in modern music history. The manufacturer, Takoma Records, played an essential role in promoting independent artists like Fahey throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Founded by Fahey himself, Takoma became synonymous with high-quality recordings from groundbreaking folk and blues musicians.
