Correct, now listen to his good albums
You people need to learn the definition of the word pretentious. "Actual folk music" is formally primitive.
Oh look, it's you again
>john fahey
>folk
also, stay mad because scaruffi rated it higher than your favorite album
I don't think pretentious is the best word to describe it, overindulgent fits better
american primitivism is a subgenre of folk

what do you think of this one
"I think of myself as a classical guitar player," John Fahey once said, sounding regretful. "But I'm classified as a folk musician."
No it's not lol, it's derived from popular music genres like country and blues and not folk music
That’s an insult to classical guitar players, his work is amateurish at best.
So that's why it's so good, and folk is so shit
I love american primitive and respect the hell of Fahey, but I barely ever listen to the guy, his stuff feels so cold and soulless
>his stuff feels so cold and soulless
Fuck off if When the Springtime comes is "soulless" you stupid faggot
You're right. I kind of do hate actual folk music. And I consider this album to be a top 5 of all time. Pretentious is a word that insecure losers like to use -- just say you don't like it or that you don't get it.
So he was actually pretentious after all
If you don't mind me asking, what are the other four?
Why does that matter?
Well I also love this allbum so I'm curious
>and folk is so shit
Non American opinion discarded
If Scaruffi gives it a 9, it probably sucks
I love Fahey but Fare Forward Voyagers is not my favorite. I feel like you have to play acoustic guitar to actually appreciate Fahey
>I feel like you have to play acoustic guitar to actually appreciate Fahey
No. You just have to not be a pleb.
