The December Wire Tapper includes a gorgeous electric John Fahey cut that sounds like nothing else from him that I've heard. According to the notes, it's from a forthcoming Revenant release. I followed him through the early Takoma/Vanguard years, but my tastes changed and I didn't pay much attention to him (or any other acoustic music) after the early 1970s. We picked up his album Rain Forests & Oceans (with an interesting two-guitar version of Layla), but I'd be interested in reading about Fahey's experimental side in other more recent releases.
