American Primitive Guitar: Yes! Jesus Loves Me
I was finally able to purchase the John Fahey CD, "Yes! Jesus Loves Me". This is John Fahey's only CD that is ALL HYMNS and is a CD that I have wanted to own for a long long time. Starting in 1963 John Fahey closed his albums with a Christian hymn. However, this CD consists of 20 hymns played as only John Fahey can play-a really good listen.
Not many well known guitarists put out albums that are all hymns. The only other such album that I own is "A Closer Walk With Thee" by Martin Simpson. Interestingly, the one hymn that many many guitarists record is "Amazing Grace". For example, the Japanese guitarist, Nakazato Isato" has recorded it on his CD "Standards" while John Fahey has recorded it on his CD "America".
Finally, though this is John Fahey's only CD of regular hymns, he has recorded many Christmas albums of mostly Christams carols. In fact, his best selling album is an album of Christmas carols that he recorded in 1968 called "The New Possiblility". As a result he has recorded numerous other Christmas albums over the years and they all are very good-I recommend them all.

Greetings! It's nice to see that Mr.Sunde finally got this classic CD,which he recommended
to me in person. I found out that this particular album was bizarrely paired with Maria Muldaur album Gospel Night when it was first put out on vinyl. This turns out to be its first stand-alone release. Strange!!
I've checked out 15 cuts that I could get, and it is nice,to say the least. The whole CD is superb, class act for sure.
But don't ask me about the other 5 tracks,LOL. Looking forward to get them as soon as possible.
Stay blessed.

I'm glad that you were able to enjoy the guitar playing on "Yes! Jesus Loves Me". I think this CD represents John Fahey at his best.
In Jesus,
