''After the Ball'' is an album by American folk musician John Fahey, released in 1973. It was his second and last recording on the Reprise label and like its predecessor, ''Of Rivers and Religion'', it sold poorly. == History == Following in the same mold as Fahey's debut with Reprise, ''Of Rivers and Religion'', accompanists were used on most of the material. Denny Bruce was once again co-producer and many of the musicians were the same. Jack Feierman again wrote the ensemble arrangements. Like ''Of Rivers and Religion'', the Dixieland-style jazz danceband numbers were unlike anything else Fahey had done before. Following the fulfillment of the two-album contract and lackluster sales, Fahey was released from Reprise and went back to recording for his own Takoma label.〔 Speaking of both ''Of Rivers and Religion'' and ''After the Ball'' in a 1998 interview for The Wire, Fahey recalled, "I don't understand why they got bad reviews. It's like every time I wanted to do something other than play guitar I got castigated." "Bucktown Stomp" is an adaptation of "Smoketown Strut" by blues guitar player Sylvester Weaver. The version of "Candy Man" here is based on the Reverend Gary Davis' version. Fahey later re-recorded "Hawaiian Two-Step" as "Spanish Two-Step". The title song "After the Ball" by Charles K. Harris was popularized in Oscar Hammerstein II and Jerome Kern's 1927 musical ''Show Boat''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「After the Ball (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
