This is the musically weakest of all fahey albums by far. going for avant/improv/experimental, but falling on face. other dudes in Trio not so good. Fahey tells some funny stories on it though. i want to hear Three Day Band soon (latest fahey release).
ALL fahey albums are good, i've got almost all of 'em. Double 78 does have some familiar pieces but i forget where they're from, city of refuge maybe, or hard time empty bottle blues?
Jack Rose has inherited the fahey throne in my mind.
Check out: John Fahey: Great Santa Barbara Oil Slick & Sandy Bull: 1969 Still Valenitnes Day. Both Cds on Water Records, both recorded at the same gig! i'd kill...
www.johnfahey.com has tone of cool stuff to read, especially liner notes for each album. original LP w/ intact booklets are hard to find and much coveted by me.
On my living room wall hangs a grave rubbing I made at Fahey's grave in Salem, Oregon
check out some Indian slide guitarists: Debashish Battacharya, Dr. Kamala Shankar, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Sublime Frequencies' "Hindustani Slide Guitar", etc...
