fare forward voyagers (of rivers and religion)

day five of fahey week and we are back to 1973’s fare forward voyagers - inspired (allegedly by fahey’s chasing after swami phahupada’s secretary (shanthi norris) - this is fahey’s blues reconfigured as phrases in an indian raga. this one horsemouth really likes - of rivers and religion features fahey playing in ensembles with old new orleans jazz musicians - it’s great, as is after the ball (though admittedly the cover for that one is terrible).



fahey is splitting his work between takoma and vanguard - it’s all good - but he’s about to fall into a trough of despond for a few years.
