Drummer José Medeles crafted Railroad Cadences & Melancholic Anthems as a heartfelt tribute to the legendary fingerstyle guitarist John Fahey, recording these intimate duets at Bocce Recording in Vancouver, WA in 2020. The album features collaborations with an impressive roster of artists including M. Ward, Marisa Anderson, and Chris Funk, resulting in a sound that weaves together folk, classical, and electronic textures with a raw, field-recording clarity that Medeles himself likens to the iconic work of Alan Lomax.
Released in 2022 on Jealous Butcher Records, this is a deeply atmospheric and spiritually resonant listen, from the dreamlike waltz cadences of M. Ward's contributions to the haunting sound collage of closing track "Voice of the Turtle," which features Fahey himself speaking about his guitar. The album captures something both playful and profound — a drummer's unique perspective on Fahey's legacy, rendered with the intimacy of a live session and the careful intention of a true homage.
