Product Description

John Fahey has made a habit of recording a new album of Christmas music every five or six years, but The New Possibility, which was originally released in 1968, is still his best. On it, Fahey has pulled off the near miraculous feat of taking old holiday chestnuts like "Joy to the World" and "It Came upon a Midnight Clear" and making them sound fresh. When he plays a Travis-picking version of "O Come All Ye Faithful" or he recasts "Silent Night, Holy Night" as bottleneck blues, you get the feeling Fahey is treating the music with respect rather then piety. Also included in this reissue are six tracks from his 1975 release Christmas with John Fahey, Vol. II. The songs feature some nice duets with Rick Ruskin, but the arrangements lack some of the quirkiness that made The New Possibility sound unique. This isn't Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas," but it is a modern holiday classic nonetheless. --Michael Simmons

Thanks.
Vol. II really isn't even close to the main album here, which is probably why they just included it as extra tracks.
As is the album is a reissue mastered in 1993. It sounds pretty good all told, but I just wanted to make sure people realize the second album has been cut, and it's not the first time they have cut a Fahey album for CD. America also had a cut to it, but I guess those decisions have to be made. I would have rather had two discs, but I guess profits are not that great. The New Possibility is five stars. Highly recommended for that one.

Those of you who do know Fahey will understand when I say he takes us on a few of his journeys in his interpretations of these tunes which are wonderful,and in the christmas fantasy tracks the journeys become epic voyages in the style of Yellow Princess,Requia,America,The Voice of the Turtle etc..etc...
So for Fahey converts this cd needs no selling,and those new to this master of the acoustic guitar a wonderful entry into the man's unique musical style.....for Christmas or any time.
