✨ 1. The 1965 album is a conceptual work that tells the fictionalized, tragic life and resurrection of a blind bluesman named Blind Joe Death.
✨ 2. John Fahey originally released the album in 1965 on his own Takoma Records using a fake address in Berkeley, California, to make the tiny label look like a legitimate enterprise.
✨ 3. The album's centerpiece, "St. Louis Blues," features Fahey aggressively manipulating his guitar strings with a bottleneck slide to mimic the sound of crying.
