Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Volume 6: Days Have Gone By' documents John Fahey's synthesis of traditional American folk and blues fingerpicking with a significant turn toward avant-garde composition. The album juxtaposes rustic guitar soli with expansive, experimental pieces that incorporate tape splicing, field recordings of trains, and Eastern-influenced raga structures. Through its pioneering use of musique concr猫te techniques alongside virtuosic performance, the work creates a complex, meditative soundscape that defines a key phase of Fahey's American Primitivism.
