This inspired collection is a combination reissue all the music from John Fahey's groundbreaking 1964 disc Death Chants and his re-recorded version from 1967. The clear (and thankfully not digitally messed-with) sound plus context-heavy, insightful liner notes by Mr. Byron Coley make the reissue a must even for folks who own the original artifacts. For the guitar aficionados, on the 1964 recordings Fahey uses a late 1890's Martin New Yorker. Fahey on a period instrument is exciting - the performance late-night boozy, energized.
