On Air is a live album by American fingerstyle guitarist and composer John Fahey, released posthumously in 2005.
The tracks from On Air come from a performance on Radio Bremen in Germany in 1978. The tapes were assembled and sequenced by producer Henry Kaiser.
Allmusic critic Thom Jurek wrote "Fahey spins out a musical universe that straddles musical worlds, dips into them, and carries the detritus somewhere else to make something entirely new yet rooted in time immemorial. This document is a welcome addition to the Fahey shelf and a must for fans."
All songs by John Fahey unless otherwise noted.
Contrary to the official track listing on the CD package, tracks 11 and 12 are incorrectly labelled. They should be as follows:
11. "In Christ There Is No East or West / Beverly"
12. "Dance Of The Inhabitants Of The Palace Of King Philip XIV Of Spain"
The description of "Beverly" as a 'slide guitar piece' in the liner notes is also inaccurate. This can be confirmed by listening to "Beverly" on 1973 album After the Ball, and "Dance of the Inhabitants of the Palace of King Philip XIV (of Spain)" on 1969 recording The Great Santa Barbara Oil Slick (also on 1964 album Death Chants, Breakdowns & Military Waltzes in shorter form).
