John Fahey: Yes Jesus Loves Me – COMPACT DISCS

2007 release of an album previously issued for a short time in 1980, when it was somewhat bizarrely paired with a Maria Muldaur album. This is it’s first stand-alone release and includes the full artwork, reindeers and all. It’s an eclectic selection of original 17th, 18th and 19th century hymns that Fahey indelibly stamped with his unique guitar interpretations. This new package is augmented by authoritative notes from renowned journalist Kris Needs. Takoma 2007.
