John Fahey pioneered the steel-string acoustic guitar as a solo instrument and was a highly influential fingerstyle guitarist, serving as a model for guitarists ranging from Leo Kottke to Thurston Moore. He recorded more than 30 albums over the course of his lifetime and ranked 35th on Rolling Stone's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."
"Fahey's writing flickers with the same black humor and ambivalent mysticism that imbues his music." --Bill Meyer, music critic, Chicago Reader
