'When Your Way Gets Dark' CHARLEY PATTON, 1929 Delta Blues Guitar Legend

The added reverb is unnecessary and idiotic.

Great track - but it's not the Patton performance that was released as "When your way gets dark"! This is an alternate take of that song - with slightly different lyrics and no guitar intro - that was issued under the mystifying title of "Magnolia Blues"

[steinsteel]

@BarbaraAnnLovegrove Yeah Your right. Rag need to put out the right version that is much better than this "Magnolia" version.

FUCK THE REVERB

Is it good or bad, does she like me or not, do I feel pain or pleasure, is it good or bad, are you crazy or sane, are you prejudice or not, are you alive in sould or dead in spirit, is there a beginning or not; are you smart or dumb, do you have kindness or disregard for your fellow human being; am I liberal or conservative; does your heart bleed or does it freeze? Think. Just think. Then....listen.

Thanks for posting this. Charley Patton's influence on John Fahey was profound. You can hear it on many of his recordings. RDH, thanks for all this stuff.

[PeluMaad]

@mindlesspup ....Fahey did a doctorial thesis on Patton...

[mindlesspup]

@PeluMaad

Thanks - I believe he did that at UCLA, early 60's.

I met and saw John play many times, amazing.

Thanks, RDH, for all the Charley Patton. Only ~1100 views for the man at the root of all rock n'roll. Shame. But glad he's here!
