The Yellow Princess

by John Fahey

The Yellow Princess cover art

For his major-label debut, acoustic guitar pioneer John Fahey incorporated subtle orchestration and slightly denser arrangements into his signature fingerpicking style. 'The Yellow Princess' is fiercely technical and wonderfully hypnotic, weaving highly melodic, deeply passionate American Primitivism into a remarkably pastoral, distinctly autumnal folk atmosphere.
