<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>More than ten years in the making, this critically acclaimed box set--originally published in 2011--features the earliest recordings of one of the most influential guitarists of the 1960s and '70s, blues and folk pioneer John Fahey (1939-2001). The five CDs feature 115 tracks, most of which are available on CD for the first time, remastered from Fonotone owner Joe Bussard's reel-to-reel tapes to achieve pristine sound quality. The CD set is accompanied by a book--the first ever written on Fahey--featuring a host of essays as well as a poem by Byron Coley and Douglas Blazek's 1967 interview with Fahey, published here for the first time. Focusing on a critical early period in Fahey's career, <i>John Fahey: Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You</i> is a challenging, engrossing introduction to a figure called "the folk guitar-playing equivalent of William Burroughs or Bukowski" by Pete Townshend.
