Blind Joe Death's America. John Fahey, the Blues, and Writing White Discontent, Paperback/George Henderson

For over sixty years, American guitarist John Fahey (1939-2001) has been a storied figure, first within the folk and blues revival of the long 1960s, later for fans of alternative music. In this book, George Henderson mines Fahey's parallel careers as essayist, notorious liner note stylist, musicologist, and fabulist for the first time. Illustrations: 3 halftones
