Volume 5: The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death

by John Fahey

Volume 5: The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death cover art

Continuing his profound mastery of the acoustic guitar, John Fahey's fifth volume is an incredibly complex, deeply hypnotic exploration of American roots music. 'The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death' is beautifully sparse and wonderfully mellow, weaving highly meditative, distinctly pastoral fingerpicking into a remarkably lo-fi, subtly melancholic instrumental journey.
