Description

John Fahey's life and music are deeply intertwined, with his solo steel-string guitar work influencing generations of acoustic musicians. Yet, despite his significant impact, much about his personal story remains unexamined. Journalist Steve Lowenthal has spent years researching Fahey's life, speaking with those who knew him, including producers, friends, peers, wives, and business partners. This portrait offers a nuanced look at the troubled artist, exploring how he introduced prewar blues records to a wider audience, battled his demons, and founded an independent label that achieved critical acclaim. Fahey's story is one of creative flux and perseverance, despite personal struggles with stage fright, addiction, and mental health issues.
