Stomping Tonight on the Pennsylvania/Alabama Border

The third track on Death Chants, Breakdowns & Military Waltzes shows that Fahey was not simply a copyist of old blues. He described its route himself. The opening chords come from the last movement of Vaughan Williams's Sixth Symphony. From there it goes to a Skip James motif, then to the Gregorian chant Dies Irae, which he called the most frightening hymn in the Episcopal hymn books because it concerns the day of judgment. It returns to the Vaughan Williams chords, followed by a blues run of undetermined origin, then back to Skip James.
