John Fahey: Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You
The Fonotone Years 1958–1965
Text by Claudio Guerrieri, Glenn Jones, Malcolm Kirton, R. Anthony Lee, Byron Coley, Douglas Blazek. Afterword by Eddie Dean.
More than ten years in the making, this critically acclaimed box set—originally published in 2011—features the earliest recordings of one of the most influential guitarists of the 1960s and ’70s, blues and folk pioneer John Fahey (1939–2001). The five CDs feature 115 tracks, most of which are available on CD for the first time, remastered from Fonotone owner Joe Bussard’s reel-to-reel tapes to achieve pristine sound quality. The CD set is accompanied by a book—the first ever written on Fahey—featuring a host of essays as well as a poem by Byron Coley and Douglas Blazek’s 1967 interview with Fahey, published here for the first time. Focusing on a critical early period in Fahey’s career, John Fahey: Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You is a challenging, engrossing introduction to a figure called “the folk guitar-playing equivalent of William Burroughs or Bukowski” by Pete Townshend.
