One of Fahey's special gifts is his knack for using specific bits and pieces of the language of early country blues (but seldom the 12-bar form itself) to create compositions and extended improvisations that are uniquely his own. This 1984 collection includes compositions from Brazilian guitarists Bola Sete and Baden Powell, composer Dvorak, along with Fahey's unique originals -- even a cover of Eric Clapton's 'Layla.' Guitarist/producer Terry Robb duets with Fahey on several tracks.
