Full title is: Best of John Fahey 1959-1977


A reissue of John's self-compiled 'best-of' from his Takoma-label recordings, with the additions of the long-form guitar pieces America and Fare Forward Voyagers along with the classic Desperate Man Blues. Other tracks: Sunflower River Blues; In Christ There Is No East or West; Give Me Cornbread When I'm Hungry; The Last Steam Engine Train; When the Springtime Comes Again, and more. An ideal introduction to one of the most profound artists of his time.
