Essential John Fahey

Essential John Fahey (1978) more music like this

by John Fahey

While the mesmerizing sound John Fahey conjures here from his steel strings meets this Maryland guitarist's typically high standards, the album title misleadingly suggests a best-of collection. It's actually a CD two-fer. The Yellow Princess, a 1969 album in its entirety, is followed by 1967 release Requia, missing only the four-part "Requiem for ...

The Best of the Vanguard Years

The Best of the Vanguard Years (1999) more music like this

by John Fahey

Though only encompassing two albums, The Yellow Princess and Requia and Other Compositions for Guitar Solo, the latter of which appears almost in its entirety, Best of the Vanguard Years is an excellent overview of Fahey's tenure on the Vanguard label and also documents an impressively innovative period for the experimental guitarist.

Vanguard Visionaries

Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this

by John Fahey

Though John Fahey cut only three records for Vanguard between 1966 and 1969 (he cut a slew for his own Takoma label as well) , some of his most adventurous -- and some would say maddening -- work is here. Vanguard Visionaries compiles ten cuts from the latter two of these LPs, 1967's Requia & Other Compositions for Guitar Solo, and 1969's Yellow ...

Vanguard Collector's Edition

Vanguard Collector's Edition (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

This four-CD set isn't quite as comprehensive as it might have been. All of the major bases are covered, from Paul Robeson, the Weavers, and Count Basie to Alison Brown and John McEuen, and even Circus Maximus ("Oops -- I Can Dance") is here, with cuts by the Frost ("Sweet Lady Love") and the Third Power ("Gettin' Together"). But there's no Sandy ...
