It's rare that I find music this unique and warm anymore. Robbie takes what he learned from John Fahey are ran with it and made it own. I love Robbie's singing style also. As artsy as it is very down to earth.
Thankyou for posting!! My son josh 21yrs old introduced Fahey to me. Now i have added both Fahey & Basho to my vinyl collection. I have Basho on a compilation album "all day thumb sucker" love his voice.
i think it was the other way around.. Fahey might have learned a little bit from Basho, but he'd never admit it. :) And Basho's right hand has no resemblance to Fahey's or any other Piedmont/Delta player. He's incorporated mostly Indian, Middle-Eastern, Flamenco, and Classical techniques.
