the various collaborations of john fahey (the end of fahey week 2017)

well there’s the singer and bassist from spirit/ jo jo gunne (mark andes and jay ferguson) together with an ex-member of the byrds (kevin kelley drummer sweetheart of the rodeo) on the yellow princess, there’s red krayola (horsemouth believes - see live 67 and apparently there are lost studio recordings), there’s cul-de-sac (the epiphany of glenn jones), there’s flautist linda mclean, there’s tape-collager barry hansen (and then there’s the people he had on tape - like fiddlers hubert thomas and virgil willis johnston), there’s a pre-canned heat alan ‘blind owl’ wilson and then there are the three (to my knowledge) john fahey orchestra albums - of rivers and religion, after the ball and old fashioned love.

that’s a start - more soon.

tomorrow horsemouth will be busy (though he is free wednesday) so this probably wraps it up for fahey week this year. horsemouth has conducted a re-listening exercise to the fahey albums he owns (and plans to go buy some more). 

saturday there may be more house watching (out in sunny walthamstow).
