Customer Review Classic Fahey A nice mix of folk guitar and old-time southern jazzy numbers, and two LPs on one disc brings the time up to a respectable one hour. Classic Fahey with his orchestra. Fahey evergreens like Steamboat Gwine Round De Bend, Ol' Man River, Requiem for Mississippi John Hurt, Hawaiian Two Step, Beverley and Candyman should have you in ecstasy. The guitar playing is sensational and unique to say the least, and the kind of intoxicating rural atmosphere on these albums could only be conjured up by Fahey - there is no equal. .
