Free Music Notes for Return Of The Repressed: The Anthology

Free Music Review: the first, the best
Hit: 5 Stars

It's very hard to grasp the importance that John Fahey's music had in the development of the solo acoustic performance genre. Before Fahey the guitar (in "popular" music) was only there to support the voice. Fahey made the guitar the star. He did this not through sheer virtuosity, although certain elements of his technique were unmatched, but by being INTERESTING! His music was hard to pigeonhole, was it bluegrass,blues,new-age,folk?...all of these and none of these, it WAS thought provoking and hypnotic. Now that he's gone artists are coming out of the woodwork (at least three tribute albums already). He could have used their support during his very tough life, but Fahey was not an easy person to love. He was iconoclastic and highly critical(even of himself). His excellent literary efforts show him to be a very complex and troubled individual. This compilation of recordings is a good representation of his ever evolving musical style (he called it "American Primitive Guitar"). If you love music and don't know John Fahey, prepare to be profoundly changed.

Return Of The Repressed: The Anthology Poster

"This collection represents nearly 30 years of my recordings with the acoustic guitar, an instrument that I dearly love and continue to play. To my fans new and old, thank you for letting me share my music with you and permitting the return of my repressed subconscious." --John Fahey

The late John Fahey holds a unique place in the history of popular music. In the early 1960s, as the folk boom was turning listeners on to such musical pioneers as Woody Guthrie, Fahey was tuned to Delta blues icon Charley Patton. John Fahey captured both the purity of the blues and its intimations of mortality on 20 albums of instrumental compositions, most for his own Takoma label, and the "American Primitive Guitar" style he created has been enormously influential. The two-CD Return of the Repressed is the first comprehensive collection of this master acoustic guitarist's best work. Spanning nearly 30 years, the 42 tracks on these two CDs are primarily Fahey originals and arrangements of traditional tunes played on solo acoustic guitar. The accompanying booklet was written by Barry Hanson (aka Dr. Demento), a friend of Fahey's since the beginning of his career, making this anthology the definitive look at the fretsman extraordinaire.
