Hab von Fahey nur die bei „Tradition und Moderne“ erschienene Live CD „On Air“. Das Konzert aus Bremen wurde vom Bremer Rundfunk 1978 mitgeschnitten.
Sein Picking ist schon unglaublich gut. Muß aber zugeben, daß ich die CD kaum ganz durchhöre, weil mich sein Stil anstrengt.
Außerdem kenne ich noch das Tributealbum „I am the Resurrection: A Tribute to John Fahey“

Fahey is a walk in the woods.
Meander framed with timber.
The lumbering in the lumber.
This was taking the time to hear a man taking the time, not unlike seeing a movie from the 70s after not seeing it for so many years, now relating to it in ways that were once impossible and now more vital. I heard the piano living in there. He can play guitar like a piano player, which I relate to from playing the piano like a guitar player.
