Marvellous recording of the late great John Fahey and his unique Primitive American guitar style. Having researched the old blues masters he took their work to the next level adding his own style to what he learnt. Stomping Tonight On the Pennsylvania/Alabama Border (which doesn't actually exist) starts as a traditional blues and then takes off in other directions. On The Beach At Waikiki is a 12-string slide guitar tune which could have come from Blind Willie McTell. And John can throw out a beautifully syncopated instrumental in the style of Blind Blake with Take A Look At That Baby. This CD contains both the early original recording and the later version of the album, so two for the price of one. Great music, excellent value.

first heard this in my twenties. recalled it later in life but was then unable to buy it. thankfully years later i was able to obtain it through internet. so very pleased to be re-united with past memories of these tracks at a more poignant time in my youth.
