History
With the exception of one track, the songs on this album were recorded and rejected by Takoma Records in 1977. Fahey sent these tracks to Shanachie Records after receiving an advance on the album.[1]
The original album included a booklet and guitar tablature for "Requiem for Mississippi John Hurt" and "Steamboat 'Gwine Around the Bend".
Reception
Allmusic critic Steven McDonald gave the album a 4 of 5 stars review, writing "An excellent John Fahey outing, essentially examining his inspirations and drawing once again from them. It's beautifully recorded and mastered, and performed brilliantly. This one is highly recommended—would-be serious guitarists take note."[2] CMJ New Music wrote that "[Fahey] has continually enriched his style to incorporate a deeper sense of his Delta blues roots, taking his compositions beyond the standard pop framework to create breathtakingly picturesque mood-scapes ranging from somber and dark to finger-pickin' ecstasy."[5]
