It was his first release on the Varrick label after over 25 years on his own label Takoma, as well as a few releases on other labels. HistorySince his move to Salem, Oregon in 1981, Fahey met guitarist and producer Terry Robb, who accompanies him on all but three of the songs on Let Go.[1] He would work with Robb on three subsequent releases. Since his final album on Takoma (Railroad) Fahey had signed with Varrick Records, an imprint of Rounder Records. It was to be his first of four releases on the label. His liner notes distance himself from the folk music label he had had since his career began. The notes begin "No folk music on this record—not even that sounds or suggest folk music... it's hard to break out of a bag I never intended to be in—never thought I was in... I'm not a Volk. I'm from the suburbs."[2] He also noted the influence of the Brazilian guitarist Bola Sete. He had commented on Sete's influence in 1977 in the notes to his guitar transcription book The Best of John Fahey 1959–1977.[3] He did his first cover of a Sete composition on his 1979 album John Fahey Visits Washington D.C.. He had previously recorded the "River Medley" on the 1972 Reprise release Of Rivers and Religion. "Dvorak" is based on themes from Antonín Dvořák Eighth and Ninth symphonies. Regarding the duo's cover of the Derek and the Dominos song "Layla", Fahey commented: "Talk about ambition, Chutzpah—that’s us."[4] The original LP lists a track titled "Lost Lake". There was never such a track.[5] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[6] | rev2 = CMJ New Music | rev2Score = (no rating) [7] }} Allmusic critic Richard Foss gave the album a 3 of 5 stars review, writing Let Go "may not be the definitive John Fahey album, but it is a very good one from end to end."[6] CMJ New Music wrote that "you'll find this one to be subtley radiant, tropically blue and exceptionally calming."[7] {{dead link|date=July 2018}} Track listing
