Harry Taussig - Fate Is Only Once (1965)

Back to basics with this album. A lovely fingerpicking album by the totally forgotten Harry Taussig. The music of Taussig sounds a lot like John Fahey and when I found out about this guy, I was very glad that I finally found a musician from the same era like John Fahey.

There's a great Elizabeth Cotten cover on this album; it's the longest song on the album and it shows how technically skilled Taussig was. It may not always sound as difficult as Fahey, but listen to Sugar Babe and you know what I'm talking about.

that'll never happen no more
