Fahey fanatics for the most part seemed to look the other way during the period right before his death, when he was almost destitute and experimenting with (sad for trads!) electric guitar and noise drone.

Then a friend played him The Dance of Death and Other Plantation Favorites, a mid-Sixties album of solo acoustic fingerpicking by the iconic American guitarist John Fahey. “I remember not quite understanding it,” Blackshaw says now of that record, [...]
