ILX Gonna Shine in My Backdoor Someday (new post-Fahey folk for ppl posting in Takoma/Tompkins Square threads Pt II)

Glenn is a gem (cue broken record ...). I actually get his songs stuck in my head all the time, which does not happen with a lot of solo guitar music of any kind. "Across the Tappan Zee" comes unbidden into my brain all the time and lodges itself there for hours. I am fine with this.

It's funny how recognizable his songs are, I think it's because he essentially reorders all of his Glenn Jones-isms to create new songs. I'll hear melodies from old songs altered or seemingly in a different key pop up here and there. I think all artists do this but I listen to Glenn so intently that his trademark quirks stand out to me.

My dbh LP came today. I like this album more every time I listen to it

New Bachman approaching on Three Lobed. Liking this one so far:

Has kind of a strange cadence and approach to it once it gets going. Interested to see where the album goes.

looks like some subreddit got ahold of it. some interesting ummmm comments on the video

i really like it though- interesting patterns going

damn master ballsmith

Hah hah hah. I can imagine Bachman getting a kick out of it. But yeah, the patterns were cool to me for sure.

whenever i stumble upon reddit, i end up being thankful for ILM

i don't think ogmor is a big fan of bachman, maybe he made a bunch of troll accounts for the vid ;)

man, Xylouris/White were so good last night here in Eugene. got a major Sun City Girls vibe from a lot of what they were doing. They also played this subdued trance-inducing song from the 14th century that allegedly had 10,000 verses, they did the first 15. I listened to the records before the show, but ended up thinking that what they are doing live is even better.

I discussed the Dylan Nobel with Mr. White, he was all for it.

XW is so good -- and yeah, I like the records, but live they were transcendent.

a buddy of mine taped it, I will be in touch ;)

:D

the d charles speer & helix & jack rose record has that good ramshackle bar band energy and is actually pretty rocking (esp in the pines), the rare thing ITT that you could dance to. speer&helix are an interesting evolutionary link between the 00s scene and the 10s one

i can't wait to see XW. i tried to get 1 of my bands a spot opening for them but it failed. i tried though! couldn't resist. that would be so dreamy.

(OT: ATTN Neal Cassady. I didn't realize you were a regular since you mostly hide out on this thread. Nagat: Arabic music (not elsewhere classified))

(And the guitar, which isn't there much, sounds like it could be Omar Khorshad.)

Sorry folks, this is goofy and kind of lame typically, but I am jazzed on it so I am posting here: I just got an original copy of Fahey's "Days Have Gone By Volume 6" with the insert/booklet and everything for a decent price. Psyched!

Had been kind of a crummy couple of weeks, so it was really nice to end this one with such a treat.

congrats! That's one of the best ones, too. Originals have become harder and harder to come by.

ah, I'm not much of a record fetishist but that's probably my favourite Fahey and I am v jealous. the liner notes to those classic takoma albums are wonderful too, bet it smells good

yeahhh that one is the best. i saw some 60s fahey at a shop a little while ago, but it was way too much $$$$ for me.

Yeah, I don't wanna be that guy (and I am not a collector at all for the most part) but I was psyched at the price. The cover is beat up but the LP plays fine. Really the booklet is worth it to me alone. I love it and the LP.

I found transfiguration of blind joe death in an antique shop some years back! Pretty sure I got it for a great price however it was missing the book insert.

Let me tell everyone is this thread: John Fahey is so great! I was just listening to Fare Forward Voyagers while driving through Colorado. Unbelievably good.

everyone IN this thread, haw

Yellow Princess going up the middle of Arizona last week for me! Fitting.

almost done with work, gonna go play some old Fahey in solidarity

days gone by is def up there in the fahey canon

Excited for this (see contributors):

my wife bought me one of the jack rose reissues, excited to listen tonight

Nice! Still gotta get some of those. It is the right time of year for me for this kind of music.

checking out one of those fahey records no one ever talks about - rain forests, oceans & other themes....and how have we never discussed the fact that he covered "layla" by derek & the dominos???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SThx4sjpp6s

one of his more inexplicable moves and that's saying a lot

JF: Talk about ambition, Chutzpah - that’s us.

the main part of the song...well layla that riff is so distinctive it's pretty hard to put your stamp on it, it's just like ok yr playing layla, but i think the more stately coda adapts to fahey pretty well, i can hear what he heard in that

Hah hah. Wow. When I am old and really crotchety maybe I will finally deliver on my (somewhat in progress) guitar soli renderings of Drive Like Jehu tunes. What would be my version of a "Layla" to throw in there though? Like, "Three Days" by Jane's Addiction or something?

lol, at that layla; it's quite lovely tho!

Daniel Bachman's next album to feature his bold re-imagining of DMB's "Crash"

Hah hah, rough. There is a tentative Virginia connection there though ....

Hey, does anyone know how to get ahold of any of the tab songbooks advertised on almost all the Kicking Mule releases? You'd think they'd be everywhere, given how ubiquitous the actual LPs are. I wish they'd just included them with the records to begin with! There are a handful I'd love to have. I guess they were mailorder only?

Speaking of Kicking Mule, I've really grown to love this record (and I say this as an on-the-record Renbourn agnostic)

I think Rainforests is my favourite 80s Fahey (really Fahey & Robb, & discounting God, Time & Causality on the basis it was recorded in 77) and the closest thing to a conventionally chill Fahey album with a v south american flavour. realised recently that 'atlantic high', originally called wm. f buckley, is surely a reference to when buckley sailed out to international waters in his yacht so that he could try marijuana 'legally'. Fahey was the best at titles. really like his ocean waves cover too, has a bit of that intense tenderness which was rarer in that mid-70s-80s period. layla shows that defiant determination to Faheyize something normcore, a bit like when he plays california dreamin on requia, only he doesn't need a chorus of seals to help him

i mean, the buckley joke only works bc he renamed it, you need both titles together. can't decide if that's deliberate and v clever or if he was so inspired by the idea of buckley stoned on his yacht in the middle of the ocean that he wrote a song about it and it was a title just for him

yeah i think it's a nice album, almost feel like he's trying in his own way to take some of bola sete into his work

xpost - have that renbourn/grossman album very nice -- mine had full booklet of guitar tablature for all the songs!

has this been discussed?
