HARD TIME EMPTY BOTTLE BLUES (1-4), LP ( approx. value: US$ 13.00 )
1-4; ONE OF ACOUSTIC MUSIC'S TRUE INNOVATORS AND ECCENTRICS, JOHN FAHEY WAS A CRUCIAL FIGURE IN EXPANDING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR. HE DREW FROM BLUES, NATIVE AMERICAN MUSIC, INDIAN RAGAS, EXPERIMENTAL DISSONANCE, AND POP, AND WAS THE FIRST TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE FINGER-PICKING TECHNIQUES OF TRADITIONAL COUNTRY AND BLUES STEEL-STRING GUITAR COULD BE USED TO EXPRESS A WORLD OF NON-TRADITIONAL MUSICAL IDEAS-HARMONIES AND MELODIES MORE READILY ASSOCIATED WITH BARTOK, CHARLES IVES, OR THE MUSIC OF INDIA. FAHEY PLAYED WITH A FIERCE IMAGINATION AND VERSATILITY, AND WHILE HIS IDIOSYNCRASY MAY HAVE LIMITED HIM TO A CULT FOLLOWING, IT ALSO ENSURED THAT HIS WORK CONTINUES TO SOUND STARTLINGLY ORIGINAL. [PRESS RELEASE]ULTRA LIMITED, ONE SIDED CLEAR VINYL 12 FROM THE LATE JOHN FAHEY. RECORDED LIVE IN 1996 AT TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS' YTTRIUM FESTIVAL, THESE FOUR TRACKS HARKEN BACK TO HIS PRE-ELECTRIC PERIOD, A GORGEOUSLY MELANCHOLY, DREAMILY CASUAL, WANDERING, AND MELODIC APPALACHIA THAT ONLY FAHEY COULD PRODUCE. SPARE AND UNHURRIED, THIS FOUR PART SUITE UNFURLS LAZILY, MELODIES BLOSSOMING SHYLY, WITH EACH PART ENDING QUITE ABRUBTLY, AS IF FAHEY JUST DECIDED TO STOP WHEN HE FELT LIKE IT, REMINDING US HOW INTIMATE AND PLAYFUL FAHEY COULD BE LIVE. BEAUTIFULLY SILKSCREENED WOODCUT IMAGE IN MAUVE INK ON CLEAR VINYL IN A CLEAR SLEEVE. QUITE STRIKING." [AQUARIUS]EDITION OF 750 COPIES, GATEFOLD COVER. [PRESS RELEASE] |
