The Great Santa Barbara Oil Slick (2004) more music like this

by John Fahey

Most of this 76-minute CD of previously unreleased live performances was recorded at the Matrix in San Francisco on February 14, 1968; it's uncertain when the rest was done, but the liner notes guess they were recorded a year later, in 1969.
