Customer Review An underrated entry in the Fahey canon "Old Fashioned Love," the last of the cluster, is far better. Of the initial three albums John Fahey recorded with a Dixieland band, the first two -- "Of Rivers and Religion" and "After the Ball" -- acquired a certain mystique simply because they were so hard to get for a long time. The Dixieland stuff is more vigorous and interesting than the previous two albums, and songs like "Persian Market," a piece for two guitarists, break up the format. For me, the reason for owning this record is "Dry Bones in the Valley," a solo epic that features some of Fahey's most exalted music. I own a lot of Fahey records, but this is one of the discs I return to over and over again. . . You can see a complete list of all John Fahey discography, or go back to the John Fahey tabs
