Artist: John Fahey
Title: Christmas Guitar Vol 1
Label: Varrick VARR002

This Christmas classic has been a perennial bestseller since being issued on Varrick in 1982--new recordings of the songs found on Fahey's earlier Christmas collection on Takoma. Fahey interprets well-known Christmas carols on solo acoustic guitar. His straightforward, unsentimental approach to these sentimental favorites can make you hear them as if for the first time.
