Co-authored by Pat Sullivan, of whom it has been said that she was “the coolest. blues chick on the East Coast.” (R. Robinson).
Early pressings of the album credited this as Fahey/Sullivan. In a 1992 interview Fahey said of Pat Sullivan in this period: “I had all these pieces in my head, you know, and she seemed to be able to hear them, I swear. She was more certain of me and my talent than I was. We had two guitars and we were doing all these incredible things and learning new stuff every day just by listening to each other. I mean, we’d play for eight hours and think nothing of it, day after day after day.”
So why did the composer credit of this brilliant piece contract to just “Fahey” on later editions?
The title of the piece is taken from the song of the same name by The Carter Family. Their melody is unrelated to Fahey’s.
For future incarnations of the main theme see: The Fahey Sampler (1965, 1967) and Mark 1:15 (1970).
