In 1968 Fahey released his first album of Christmas songs and holiday melodies to great critical acclaim, that reflect Fahey's preference for slightly Jazzy and upbeat styles

One of acoustic music’s true innovators and eccentrics, John Fahey was a crucial figure in expanding the boundaries of the acoustic guitar over the last few decades. His music was so eclectic that it’s arguable whether he should be defined as a “folk” artist.

The seven fingerstyle guitarists on this DVD have all put their own, highly personal stamp on the instrument, not only by the way they play, but also by the music they write and interpret.
