The New Possibility: John Fahey's Guitar Soli Christmas AlbumThis reissue of the folksy acoustic guitarist's classic mid '60s Christmas album reminds one of the simple charms of the season and how easy it is to capture that when you keep a no frills approach. Because he rarely varies the tempos among the tracks he's mostly in the slow to gently loping ballad mode the songs have a slight tendency to run into each other. But for mellowing out by the fire, or as background music at Christmas dinner, it's a keeper.
