John Fahey-Red Pony 1969

Label Site: My Space: John Fahey is truly an American guitar legend. His style has been greatly influential and has been described as American Primitive, a term borrowed from painting and referring mainly to the self-taught nature of his art. Fahey himself borrowed from the folk and blues traditions of America but incorporated classical, Brazilian, Indian and abstract music into his eclectic oeuvre. In 2003, he was ranked 35th in Rolling Stone’s “The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time“. See more John Fahey at
