JOHN FAHEY - BLIND JOE DEATH (1964)






















Takoma 1964

01. On Doing An Evil Deed Blues
02. St. Louis Blues
03. Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home
04. Uncloudy Day
05. John Henry
06. In Christ There Is No East Or West
07. The Transcendental Waterfall
08. Desperate Man Blues
09. Sun Gonna Shine On My Back Door Someday Blues
10. Sligo River Blues
11. West Coast Blues

Following on from last month's post, here's the 1964 version of 'Blind Joe Death'. "On Doing an Evil Deed Blues", "In Christ There Is No East or West" and "The Transcendental Waterfall" were re-recorded for this reissue, and "St. Louis Blues" was given a new edit. "West Coast Blues" was also re-recorded but omitted to make way for the now 10 minute "The Transcendental Waterfall", but I've included it here as a bonus.

Thanks for this! It'd be great if you could post the original LP version of "America" now, with all the pieces in their original length (unlike on the CD reissue).

Aww man...I'm afraid that's something I don't have! Can anybody else help out? I do have more more rare Fahey treats for the future though...
