The title refers to a fictional bluesman named Blind Joe Death, first introduced by Fahey on his debut album Blind Joe Death. For years Fahey and Takoma Records continued to treat the imaginary guitarist as a real person, including booklets with their LPs containing biographical information about him and that he had taught Fahey to play.
"Transfiguration" was John Fahey's fourth independently released LP, recorded on a shoestring and primarily in a home studio. What it lacks in technical polish it makes up for in its transcendent performance. Fahey is said to have been at the peak of his powers in terms of performance, composition, and improvised brilliance.
