Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - PURE ETHER
I can't get enough of these two discs - I really can't! I'd say why don't they make music like this anymore but truth is the America that this music was made in vanished a long, long time ago. Grab your kazoo and get ready to be transported to the ancient future! This music is completely and absolutely HIGH GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SENOR FAHEY!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An eclectic collection of old time music
From the Captain Beefheart and Albert Ayler box sets, to the Doc Boggs cd release, I've been hard pressed to find a cd by Revenant that I don't love. That said, while I do have a few minor complaints, this two disc set is no exception: It features a wide range of rare and very eclectic old time American music, featuring songs that run the gamut from amusing to astounding listening experiences. Anyone with an interest in music from this era should have no reason not to like this collection, that ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Non-homogenized peoples' music: Get it here
Hard to describe the kick I got out of the record American Primitive Vol. 2. It's up there with Harry Smith's Anthology for sure. This predates homogenized America.

The idea that there was a unique mysterious wisdom, or just misterioso, floating around on the foggy marshlands of America - well for my money it goes back to Poe, maybe Irving. But it was out and about outside of literature, in song Americana immemorial no doubt. No matter what I think: this foggy mist of an idea gained a big ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Note on sound quality
For any complainers out there, or more importantly any interested listeners who are concerned about the sound quality herein, don't be.

The remastering is wonderful, and if this type of music had no tape defects, hiss or background distortion, well then it would be a much different experience altogether - one you wouldn't recognize as the rugged and nocturnal sound of music coming from the era of the Great Depression.

Revenant consistently gives us an honest and pure sound, and ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Manic hillbilly jam sessions... drunken ragtime jamborees... backcountry kazoo virtuosos... droning banjo ragas...
I feel like I should clarify a few things right away here...
1. I haven't heard American Primitive Vol. I
2. I am far from an expert or even really a fan of Americana / roots / blues / folk / old-timey jazz / etc.
3. There are many things I'd rather do than listen to a bunch of digitally remastered scratchy old 78rpm records
4. I love this album...

Billed as "John Fahey's final curated work for Revenant," American Primitive Vol. II inspires a very rare and exciting sense ... Read More
