History
Red Cross was Fahey's last album, recorded a few months before his death in February 2001. The album was intended for release in 2001 but was delayed due to Fahey's declining health. It includes a hidden track titled "Untitled with Rain", the majority of which is ambient noise of the empty recording studio.
The liner notes are by Cul de Sac member and former collaborator Glenn Jones.
