Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday with America an album by American folk musician John Fahey, released in 1971.

Matt Hanks of No Depression on the 1998 reissue:

"Heard in near-entirety, America transcends its already classic standing and becomes one of the most ambitious and epic records Fahey ever made ... if you’re seeking one man’s ruminations on a world that has both enchanted and forsaken him, America is the Fahey effect you’re looking for."

Critic Greg Cahill of the Sonoma County Independent called the reissue "rapturous in its beauty—a majestic, spacious work as grand in its deceptive simplicity as the early American landscape from which it draws inspiration." - Wikipedia
