Revenant No. 214
Revenants. Phantoms. Biographical ciphers who emerged from their anonymous
dark, made 78 rpm recordings, and were promptly swallowed up by darkness again. Yet their recordings have made an indelible place for themselves in our world by dint of their capacity to inspire wonder.
At once a collection of secret blueprints for a raw musics revolution and a testament to the enduring power of great art to shock, confound, inspire and sustain. John Fahey's final curated work for Revenant.
Revenant's long-awaited follow-up to 1997's much-saluted American Primitive Vol. I.
