The Voice Of The Turtle (album)
''The Voice of the Turtle'' is the seventh album by American guitarist John Fahey. Recorded and released in 1968, it is considered one of his more experimental albums, combining elements of psychedelia, early blues, country fiddles, ragas, and white noise with folk music. The album had many reissues with various track listings, jacket designs and mismatched titles. History The mythical bluesman named Blind Joe Death, first introduced by Fahey on his debut album ''Blind Joe Death'', appears again in the liner notes of ''The Voice of the Turtle''. For years Fahey and Takoma continued to treat the imaginary guitarist as a real person, including booklets with their LPs containing biographical information about him and that he had taught Fahey to play. The conceit that the blues guitarist Blind Joe Death was an actual person and contemporary of Fahey is carried further with some tracks credited to being performed by Death and Fahey. There is debate that Fahey never actually appears o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
America (John Fahey Album)
''America'' is an album by American folk musician John Fahey, released in 1971. Originally intended to be a double album, it was released as a single LP. The unreleased material was subsequently restored in later CD and vinyl reissues. History The ''America'' sessions yielded over 80 minutes of music and Fahey worried that a double album wouldn’t sell. Originally planned to be a double-LP, almost half of the material was cut when it was released as a single LP. The 1998 CD reissue by Takoma restores the unreleased tracks. The title song, "America", is an extended version of the song originally recorded on '' Death Chants, Breakdowns & Military Waltzes'' and was cut from the original release. It is a rare example of Fahey playing a 12-string guitar. Fahey commented on the original and reissue releases in an interview for ''The Wire'', "I thought the material on the second disc wasn't quite up to snuff, but listening to it now, it doesn't sound too bad."

Voice Of The Turtle
Voice of the Turtle is a musical group specializing in Sephardic music. Voice of the Turtle is unique in its emphasis on doing original historical research before making recordings. The band members travel the world looking for documents of Sephardic songs, and also interview community members who may remember particular musical arrangements. Their work is of both musical and historical import. An article in ''Rootsworld'' says: "Based in Boston, Voice of the Turtle is one of the best-known groups performing Sephardic music in America. Theirs is an unusual marriage of artists who see the power of music more than just a presentation to a concert audience. 'We are all galvanized by the idea that it is critically important to preserve oral traditions in any culture. It's not so much about preserving Sephardic music but encouraging people to look at their own culture. Take from the people around you the treasures that are often missed. Learn to value the treasures that the elders have ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In the foreword, Maugham writes, "When my last volume of short stories was published ''The Times'' headed their review of it with the title ''The Mixture as Before''. This of course was meant in a depreciatory sense, but I did not take it as such.... The writer has his special communication to make.... there is in his personality a certain abundance he may continue for a long time to produce work which is varied and characteristic; but the time comes at last... when, having given what he has to give, his powe ...
