Revenent Records

During his lifetime, Fahey acted as one of the first performers to create his own record label by which he could record and release anything he wished. Takoma Records, named after Fahey's Maryland childhood home, was originally established during the late sixties and published numerous Fahey recordings as well as several Blues and American Primitive artists such as Bukka White, Robbie Basho, Leo Kottke and The Possum Hunters. Unfortunately, Takoma records was purchased in the late seventies by Chrysalis Music and shied away from the American Primitive Style.

Revenent Records was later created in Fahey's last years of life in order to support public interest in guitar music during the 1990's. This site not only provides biographies on Fahey, it offers two American Primitive sampler albums and several re-releases of Fahey's influences (such as Charlie Patton and Jenks Carman). This site is the best place to gain access to American Primitive Guitar Music.
