John Fahey: Live in Tasmania
performed by John Fahey (Takoma, 2004), 42 mins, 6 page(s)
John Fahey was well known as a perfectionist who played concerts for over two decades without releasing a live album.

John Fahey was well known as a perfectionist who played concerts for over two decades without releasing a live album. It was therefore something of a surprise when he not only recorded a full album in front of an audience, but did so at a concert booked on four days notice, at a hall he had never seen much less checked for acoustics, and with almost all material written on the spur of the moment. Fahey hadn't even planned on visiting Tasmania, but during an Australian concert tour he got drunk on an airplane flight and decided on the spur of the moment that he wanted to record an album there. A hall was booked, an audience rounded up, and the resulting show was recorded. The results were fantastic. The notoriously unpredictable Fahey was in a cheerful mood, playing an outstanding set and genially favoring the audience with a rambling monologue about the strangeness of finding Tasmania less wild and esoteric than he expected. A thoughtful version of "Waltzing Matilda" was a predictable crowd-pleaser, but so were more, er, esoteric pieces like {"The Approaching of the Disco Void."} The transcendent moment of this album, and one of the finest pieces of Fahey's career, is "Indian-Pacific R.R. Blues," a complex work that has elements of ragtime, blues, and Americana strung together into a magical whole. It was a marvelous gift to an audience that had probably never heard of him five days before, and it is fortunate indeed that this concert was not merely recorded, but captured brilliantly so that not a note was lost. ~ Richard Foss, All Music Guide

Michael Gulezian: Unspoken Intentions
performed by Michael Gulezian (Takoma, 2002), 48 mins, 13 page(s)
Michael Gulezian is among the many acoustic guitarists who came out of the "picker" field in the '70s. For those who might be unfamiliar with that term, "pickers" are acoustic guitar-playing instrumentalists like Robbie Basho, Peter Lang, Leo Kottke, and the prolific John Fahey.

Michael Gulezian is among the many acoustic guitarists who came out of the "picker" field in the '70s. For those who might be unfamiliar with that term, "pickers" are acoustic guitar-playing instrumentalists like Robbie Basho, Peter Lang, Leo Kottke, and the prolific John Fahey. They are at their best when playing unaccompanied, and their music is essentially folk or folk-rock. Gulezian was in his early twenties when, in 1979, he recorded Unspoken Intentions for Takoma, a label that was quite picker-friendly at the time. On this excellent album, Gulezian's appreciation of Fahey, Kottke, and Basho comes through. But at the same time, he is very much his own man. Although Unspoken Intentions essentially falls into the folk-rock category, Gulezian brings a variety of influences to the table -- influences that range from Southern country blues and slide guitar to traditional Indian music. And Gulezian's interest in Indian music seems perfectly logical when you take a look at his background. Although he was born and raised in the United States, Gulezian is of Armenian descent. He was exposed to a lot of traditional Armenian music growing up, and Armenian musicians -- like Indian musicians -- embrace what is known as modal playing. So there are definitely parallels between Armenian and Indian music. Another thing Gulezian brings to the table is a dreamy, airy quality and a sense of calm; there is something very reassuring about these performances. For many years, Unspoken Intentions was out of print. But in 2002, Fantasy reissued the album on CD and added two bonus tracks (both of which were recorded in 1981). Those who have never experienced the pleasures of Gulezian's acoustic guitar playing will find Unspoken Intentions to be an excellent starting point. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
