John Fahey - Your Past Comes Back To Haunt You The Fonotone Years 1958 1965
Review by Richard Georges
The album "Your Past Comes Back To Haunt You: The Fonotone Years 1958-1965" by John Fahey is a treasure trove for fans of acoustic guitar music. The album features 115 tracks, which were recorded by Fahey for the Fonotone label between 1958 and 1965. The tracks showcase Fahey's virtuosity as a guitarist, and his skill at blending folk, blues, and avant-garde influences into his music.
The album is a testament to Fahey's importance in the development of American primitive guitar music. It includes some of his earliest recordings, as well as previously unreleased tracks that have been remastered for this collection. The sound quality of the recordings is excellent, and the remastering has brought out the nuances and subtleties of Fahey's playing.
The album is also notable for its liner notes, which provide a detailed history of Fahey's early career and the Fonotone label. The notes were written by Joe Bussard, the founder of Fonotone, who was instrumental in recording and promoting Fahey's music in the early years.
