Red Cross

John Fahey's final album, Red Cross. An intensely personal project for John, which he completed a few months before his death and originally intended for release in 2001. In Red Cross, we can hear Fahey coming full circle, reinvigorated, at peace with both past and present. Includes spine-tingling interpretations of Irving Berlin's "Remember" and the Gershwins' "Summertime," alongside a number of stellar new Fahey originals. Featuring the acoustic finger picking of yore, as well as some shimmering electric guitar vamps, Red Cross touches those peculiarly Fahey-ian regions in the heart and mind. A final, sparkling gem from a true American original. Packaged in a special, limited-edition letter-pressed chipboard jacket with an inspirational pamphlet nestled inside.
