Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing a remarkably clean, focused return to form, the legendary American primitivist re-recorded several of his classic compositions alongside intense new medleys. 'God, Time and Causality' highlights Fahey's unparalleled fingerpicking technique and profound understanding of deep blues and country-folk structures. The crisp recording quality beautifully captures the idiosyncratic, melancholic pacing of his acoustic playing.
