Our Take

John Fahey delivers a delightful journey through the mind with Yellow Princess, a record that effortlessly blurs the lines between folk, blues, and experimental music. Fahey's intricate fingerpicking style is on full display, showcasing his exceptional talent and unique approach to the guitar.

The album opens with the mesmerizing track "The Yellow Princess," setting the tone for the rest of the record. Fahey's use of dissonance and unconventional chord progressions creates a dreamlike atmosphere that draws the listener in from the first note.

On tracks like "View (East from the Top of the Riggs Road/B&O Trestle)," Fahey's guitar work is nothing short of mesmerising, with each note sounding like a carefully crafted work of art. His ability to evoke a range of emotions through his music is truly remarkable, leaving the listener transfixed and wanting more.

With Yellow Princess, John Fahey proves once again why he is considered a legend in the world of folk music. His ability to push boundaries and challenge the status quo is evident throughout the record, making it a must-listen for fans of genre-blurring music. So, grab your headphones, sit back, and let John Fahey take you on a musical journey unlike any other.
