This 1972 release was his first for a major label (originally on Reprise) after more than a decade of issuing work privately or on small imprints, and also the first instance of Fahey having access to a large ensemble of musicians, including a brass and string section. Still, the extra players don't come close to swamping the session; Fahey is very much in the foreground and a number of the pieces read, essentially, as solo performances. It opens with Steamboat Gwine 'Round de Bend, as gorgeous an example of Fahey's slide guitar work as he ever recorded, languid, soulful, and profound.
