The story of Blind Joe Death is a great one. 100 copies were pressed and Fahey himself would slot them into the racks of record stores. Blind Joe Death was supposed to be an old undiscovered blues talent, his guitar was made out of a baby's coffin. It was just a pseudenom for Fahey, trying to sell more records.
Two more attempts were made of this album in 1964 and 1967. Fahey re-recorded, re-ordered and replaced over those versions.
Takoma released a nice compilation of the various versions of these tracks, but omitted some.
Here's the 1959 version in full.
