Proofs & Refutations is a compilation album by American fingerstyle guitarist and composer John Fahey, released in 2023. It reissues Double 78 alongside four additional tracks.

History

The album's notes indicate that its tracks were "recorded circa 1995/96, mostly in John Fahey's room at a Salem, Oregon boardinghouse".[1] Tracks A3, A4, B2, and B3 were originally released in 1996 as Double 78 by Perfect Records.

Reception

In his Spectrum Culture review, Reed Jackson noted that this material represents Fahey at a turning point in his musical career, describing the album as, "an enlightening link between the early and late periods, a tenuous bridge between two widely separated worlds."[2] John Nicol described the opening track as "staggering [...] even after a hundred listens."[3]
