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

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???

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?

xpost - rushomancy - hadn't seen that but see that Dying for Bad Music is involved so I'm sure it's great!

Bummed nobody else wanted to be excited with me about the new Michael Chapman! It's basically Steve Gunn + band backing him.

Oh you know what the link I posted didn't actually have his name in it. I could have been more descriptive then.

Oh, sorry Evan. That does look cool, will definitely check it out!

No worries- it really is intriguing to hear about a new Chapman with a band after how many years

Totally ooks promising, as Gunn+Elkington+Chapman can't really be a bad thing I am imagining.

"looks" that is

+Bowles!

yeah, looks cool. that Natch session from a little while back has a lot of the same dudes (no Bridget St. John, though!)

Oh, I wasn't aware of that!

Hah hah, indeed (forgot Bridget was supposed to be a part of this too, which is cool). Meagher's recordings always sound great too, so it should be a winner all around.

that whole series is one of the better Free Things On The Internet http://freemusicarchive.org/label/NATCH/

oh and hey I recommend this record to this thread! http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/10/26/dylan-golden-aycock-church-of-level-track/

speaking of wimmel's (i think?) post about people who can really *play*, i thought this should have gotten more traction. just great, melodic playing

have no use for the vocal tracks. in any case, it's pretty good
