John Fahey Old Fashioned Love LP 1975 Takoma

Australian pressing on Takoma.

Old Fashioned Love is an album by American fingerstyle guitarist and composer John Fahey, released in 1975. It is credited on the cover to John Fahey & His Orchestra. In 1990,

In a similar manner as his previous Reprise releases with accompanists, Old Fashioned Love did not sell well. For his part, Fahey remarked that he had never worked with such sympathetic, understanding musicians as he did on this release.

Woody Mann plays duets with Fahey on "In a Persian Market", "Jaya Shiva Shankarah", and "Marilyn". Guitarist Stefan Grossman responded to "The Assassination of Stephan [sic] Grossman" with his own composition, "The Assassination of John Fahey" on his album Thunder on the Run.

The 1930's title song, written by Frank Loesser and Fritz Miller, was the theme song of Fritz Miller and his Orchestra.

In his Allmusic review, Richard Foss states Old Fashioned Love "...is a wonderful release, a celebration of early 20th century musical styles. Every track is played with charm and wit, from the solo guitar pieces to the full orchestral works... Old Fashioned Love was acclaimed by many critics but was rejected by the folk crowd that Fahey himself was coming to detest." Critic Andy Beta called it "a consistently surprising collection of Fahey's many loves." and singled out the final track as notable; "The set closes with one of his truly magical works, "Dry Bones in the Valley (I Saw the Light Coming Shining 'Round and 'Round)."
