Notes2013 holiday collection. Guitarist John Fahey's concept of Christmas music was a little different from the norm. The New Possibility: John Fahey's Guitar Soli Christmas Album, the acoustic guitarist's visionary 1968 set, was a scintillating collection of solo steel-string adaptations of beloved traditional Yuletide melodies. It reportedly sold more than 100,000 copies on Fahey's own Takoma label, tabbing it as his best-selling album, and inspired several more memorable holiday sets from the guitarist, All four of those brilliant albums are generously represented on Fantasy's newly compiled Christmas Guitar Soli with John Fahey, a 14-song compilation of highlights from Fahey's Yuletide catalog. The collection provides a lovely soundtrack for the holiday season and boasts newly created cover art by Tom Weller, who designed the artwork for many of Fahey's original Takoma albums, that's done in the style of those classic sets.
