Hello everyone! It's been some time since I've managed to put a 'Home Sessions' video together, so I'm very excited to be getting back on track and hopefully putting out content a little more regularly for you all.
Today's video is a cover of the instrumental 'Turnpike Terror' by Peter Lang from his album 'The Thing At The Nursery Room Window'. Those of you who follow my music to any degree will likely know that the American Primitive guitar movement started by Fahey and his Takoma Records label mates (Kottke, Basho, Ochs, Taussig, et al) had a huge influence on my fingerpicking style in my late teens, and that influence has continued right through to the present day.
I first heard this song when I bought the album after watching the documentary 'In Search of Blind Joe Death: The Saga of John Fahey' and wanted to explore the genre in more detail. I remember being struck by the oddly melancholic feel to the piece, despite the speed and technicality of it. It's a hard thing to articulate, but something about it really resonated with me.
My youngest dog, Bo, tagged along for the ride, too. He seemed to be particularly interested in this song (I think it was the harmonics that set him off), so we are all fortunate enough to be graced by his presence throughout the video.
Anyway, I hope I did this song justice, and I hope you all enjoy what you hear 🎸
