Description
David Tattersall, the guitarist and frontman of The Wave Pictures, releases a solo album where he interprets John Fahey tunes, recorded live in the studio. Since he was young, David has been a big fan of John Fahey's music. Fahey is a significant cult figure in music history. He was the first to develop a language for the steel - string guitar that can rival the nylon - string classical guitar tradition. He rediscovered old blues musicians in the 1960s, reconciled 20th - century avant - garde music with folk tradition, and was an early indie - label DIY pioneer. For David, Fahey went beyond technique. He used the guitar to express emotions, making it a powerful tool for emotional expression. David avoided using Fahey's fingerpicking style and rhythm. Instead, he used Fahey's music to explore his own emotions, dreams, and memories. He focused on the lyrical and expressive aspects rather than the techniques. This is David's second all - instrumental solo acoustic album. Unlike his first album, Little Martha, he improvised freely here, using Fahey's originals as guides. The spontaneous results are delightful and aim to make listeners feel happy and dreamy, just like Fahey's albums do to David. Fahey advised guitarists to feel the emotions in each chord. David followed this advice. Fahey was a genius who single - handedly created a genre, and his compositions can have countless reinterpretations. All tracks were recorded live without any tampering.
