John Fahey was a hell of a man, an amazing guitarist that spearheaded an entire improvisational movement, and the creator of some of the finest albums ever recorded. America is one of these: a seventy-five minute (if you have the reissue) epic that features some of Fahey's most invigorating playing and his more ambitious tracks. The fifteen-minute "Voice of the Turtle" is a classic for the ages, as is this entire album.
