Listen to John Fahey's AMERICA and hear an honest-to-goodness pioneer of solo acoustic steel-string guitar. With a truly distinguishing approach, Fahey creates dusty, sweetly evocative worlds of American folk and blues that make the soul throb. His fingerpicking on alternating and drone bass lines coupled with chorded melodies continues to provide inspiration to acoustic players.
JF (source unknown): "I succeeded more on that album than on any of my other 12 albums in composing and recording (not to mention getting exactly the right sound I wanted). I worked on it for a long time. It was extended and syncopated tone poems for guitar, similar to many works for full orchestras by late romantic composers; i.e., Sibelius, Vaughn-Williams, Oliver Messican, etc."
Vinyl is in Near MINT condition and gatefold jacket with attached 7-page insert booket is in NM- condition.
