This site profiles the work of American Primitive Guitar founder, John Fahey. Originally working under the pseudonym, Blind Joe Death, Fahey created numerous experimental albums throughout the 1960's. Very much a recluse from the 60's folk revival and the free love movement, Fahey spent much of his time canvassing for 78 rpm recordings and rediscovering and recording originally southern blues singers such as Bukka White and Skip James. This site provides numerous interviews with Fahey, an archive of written guitar music and a dense explanation of Fahey's massive discography.
