Album Notes & Community Reviews
Resurrects the visionary, deeply spiritual acoustic guitar and vocal recordings of the legendary Takoma Records pioneer. Blending American primitive fingerpicking with Eastern ragas and Native American themes, the anthology captures his intensely passionate, highly idiosyncratic approach to avant-folk. The release helped spur a massive critical re-evaluation of his overlooked genius in comparison to his contemporary, John Fahey.
