Listener Reviews & Comments This late-1980s recording for Shanachie's Guitar Artistry series features Fahey working out on themes that mostly will be familiar to fans. But what makes this disc a great addition to any Fahey collection - and a great intro disc for those who are not familiar with him - is the exceptional quality of both his playing and the recorded sound. His chops are as clean and powerful as you'll hear on any of his records this side of "Yellow Princess," and the engineering is so clear and up-close you could swear he's sitting in your living room. The last track, a 16-minute sweep through many picking styles, called "Sandy on Earth" (concluding with a string-ripping version of "I'll See You in My Dreams") approaches the symphonic in its majesty and impact, and is apt to leave you drained and awestruck, as great musical art can do. My advice: Play it proud and turn it up loud.
