5 out of 5 stars side b song one..........2006-01-06

... raison d'etre

5 out of 5 stars Yellow Princess Shines.......2004-11-29

I've owned this album for a little while, and listened to it a few times without really being too affected. But something has changed and I cannot stop listening to the record and going over the songs in my head. Fahey is stupendous, and this album is playful and serious enough to contain some of his brilliance. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars more essential early Fahey.......2001-03-09

"The Yellow Princess" has a lot in common with Fahey's other early stuff, especially "Death Chants, Breakdown, and Military Waltzes." Similar inspired mix of full-on fingerpicking, slow blues, dissonance and found sound. The title track can be found on a number of anthologies, but the rest of the record is excellent as well. There's drum and bass backing on a few cuts, an unusual set-up for Fahey but one that works well.

Suprising this is only available as an import, according to Amazon. You'd think Vanguard would get with the program and reissue this excellent CD, especially now that he's kicked the bucket. Let's hope so.
