This is a vintage 1964 vinyl record by the influential American guitarist John Fahey, titled Volume 3: The Dance of Death & Other Plantation Favorites. Released by Takoma Records (Catalog No. C-1004), this album showcases Fahey’s pioneering fingerstyle guitar techniques and blends folk, blues, and classical influences in a deeply evocative way.
