In keeping with the great perversity, virtuosity, and humor that marks all releases of John Fahey records, guitarist Henry Kaiser has compiled a second volume of the late picker's Takoma sides to coincide with the first, self-selected set issued in 1977. Kaiser, a wildly idiosyncratic player and cultural iconoclast, is better-suited than just about anyone to compile such a project, and he has kept the strange, perverse Fahey humor as part of his duties as producer. For starters, he completely reinvents the term "best-of": Three of the pieces here are previously unissued in any form from a forgotten, never-daylighted set called "Azalea City Memories" from around 1991. Recorded for the Shanachie label, it falls outside the Takoma recordings, but since it never appeared, it's fair game. Two of the pieces from that set, "Twilight on Prince George's Avenue," and "Sligo Mud," are, in fact, reinterpretations of material from his first two Takoma outings: John Henry Variations and Stomping at Night on the Pennsylvania/Alabama Border. The last, "Tuff," is a strange, labyrinthine walk through minimal landscapes, but it holds a place of its own in Fahey's catalog. Also included here is "The Fahey Sampler," a piece never issued on an album, but performed often during Fahey's live sets: it is a kind of spooky yet riotous medley that reaches through the '60s and '70s for the roots and branches of some of his more well-known and obscure compositions. In addition, one will find tracks from Old Fashioned Love, Railroad, Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death, and Visits Washington D.C., among others. Kaiser has done a masterful job of presenting the complete emotional range of Fahey's expression, and had free-range over his catalog in order to present a varying but consistently honest view of the man as composer, as player, and yes, even as an improviser. This is, in some ways, better than the original best-of, because it comes from the heart of a fan as well as the vision of a master musician. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

It probably surprised a few people that guitar eccentric John Fahey chose to record Christmas music. This release comprises the majority of not one but two Christmas releases from 1968 and 1975. Most of the instrumentals on both albums will be familiar, such as "White Christmas," "The First Noel," and "What Child Is This?" On The New Possibility: John Fahey's Guitar Soli Christmas Album, Fahey plays alone, using unusual harmonics and open tunings to turn in pleasant versions of classic Christmas songs. This is a relaxed album, with a pleasing version of "We Three Kings of Orient Are" and a nice fingerpicking adaptation of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Fantasy." The music from the second album, Christmas With John Fahey, Vol. 2 includes several duets with guitarist Richard Ruskin, giving this music a fuller sound and offering a nice contrast to the first album. "Oh Holy Night" presents an abundance of textures, as light and airy as the season, but more resonant due to the continuous melody line. While the material from both albums is satisfying, the later album gathers more depth and presence by the addition of Ruskin's unique but complementary guitar work. The instrumentals on the second album are also more eclectic, as with the "Russian Christmas Overture" and the 12-minute "Christmas Fantasy, Pt. 2." On this tune, Fahey uses a more eccentric approach, creating the type of Christmas music a fan would expect from him. This instrumental contains more dissonance and improvising than the other material, but nonetheless retains a seasonal air. This is fine collection of holiday guitar music. ~ Ronnie Lankford, Jr., All Music Guide
