Death Chants( Breakdown) - folk guitar pioneer, primitivism

I assume this is John Fahey's Death Chants, Breakdowns & Military Waltzes?
If so it's amazing.
I'm sure you've already listen to some Roy Orbison, but In Dreams might be his best, so I'd suggest that.
also,
Heat Wave By Martha & The Vandellas
Folk Songs & Blues by Mississppi John Hurt
Monk's Dream by Thelonious Monk
Samba Esquema Novo by Jorge Ben (even if you're only doing american music)

Yeah, I gotta start proofreading these more carefully. 
Anyway, thanks for all the recs guys and keep them coming. This thread has led to a lot of great discoveries and I'm really having a blast with the project. We have another road trip coming up, so I'm hoping to post a new list soon.

If you haven't finished 1964 yet, I'd also suggest:
Dusty Springfield - A Girl Called Dusty
Ravi Shankar - Portrait of a Genius
Thelonious Monk - Monk
and Another Side of Bob Dylan is a must listen.

I usually post the new lists just as I'm starting the previous list so I can give people time to respond. Really, though, any recs are welcome, since I'm always going back.
| Quote: | | Another Side of Bob Dylan is a must listen |
I was trying to fight the urge to include every single album from artists like Dylan and the Beatles, but realistically, all of their albums from the '60s are historic. So yeah, will definitely include when I get around to updating the list.
Anyway, thanks to all. I'm about halfway through 1963 right now.

yeah. I understand that, but I think you'd be missing out on so much if you weren't going to listen to that one. For me it's right up there among his best work and has at times been my favorite Dylan release.
