John Fahey was an American fingerstyle guitarist and composer from Washington D. C. who's entire life was devoted to the acoustic guitar, the study of fingerpicking and its application to folk and traditional blues expanded towards psychedelia, classical and oriental music.
"America" was his 11th studio album, a beautiful unaccompanied acoustic guitar fingerpicking playing album, well balanced between complexity and simplicity, symmetrical but melodic, with a deep sense of isolation.

The waltz that carried us away and then a mosquito came and ate up my sweetheart.
