Charley Patton - Jim Lee Blues, Pt. 1

[MrBuk86]

I have some old Charlie Parker records that have the added reverb, among others, along w/ Bessie Smith, and ain't always a bad thing, but for listening/authenticity purposes, yea the music shouldnt be tampered with.

[MrBuk86]

Fogerty paid for the gravestone? Well that's a noble thing, so I like him even better now than I already did! Someone should of, especially if they had the dough!

[MrBuk86]

Sometimes the added reverb is ok to some tracks, and i appreciate ragtimedorians vids, but I love this post of Jim Lee, a favorite of mine, cheers!

Ragtimedorianhenry has uploaded every patton song I think and that's really great but he adds reverb to them and it kinda messes up the track.

down the dirt road blues is another song of his that i love, but at least half of his songs are my absoloute favourite and the rest come a close second

@busessuck1 Yeah indeed, added reverb, which is just awul. He might have gotten the tracks from some compilation, as I've heard this done before. Once bought a Bessie Smith cd with added reverb, went straight into the trash.

You wonder why they do it though....never heard of a music lover actually appreciating this sort of shock-treatment ;) .. if anything, these old recordings sound very intimate, and that's what I love about them....

@busessuck1

I for one absolutely love the reverb, not to forget the cleanup of extreme hiss on these ancient records. I love Charlie more than any other blueser. He's profound and reverb enhances that for me.

Also my favorite song of his...

[WoodyWeedPecker]

Maby this sounds weird but this is the first time I hear this song and it makes me think about Key to the Highway by Big Bill Broonzy...

[tomrushenblues]

not weird at all. I instantly thought of Key to the Highway. Although the version I know is by Little Walter. Its clearly a tune that was widely known and artists freely borrowed from.

[MrBuk86]

@tomrushenblues It's hard to name any old tune that wasn't freely borrowed from, but times were different then between all them beautiful musicians, now you'd get sued for plagarism, but hey....the progress of man....

[MrBuk86]

@MrBuk86 Anyway, name me something that isn't somehow recycled...I'll stop ramblin'... I hope C.Patton's in heaven if I get there.

[bostonteabagger71739]

same chord changes.  just like "lord send me an angel down" by blind willie mctell. all great songs.

God bless John Fogerty who paid for that simple yet beautiful grave stone

[bakedsushi]

@5thcorps Yup true story, the fact was He wanted their to be one because it was stolen back in the 40s. Sam Chatmon Charlies brother told the story of how people came ans took four of them until the remaining family just gave up. I think the Sam Chatmon interview is still on youtube. Bless Mr Fogerty indeed

[elpanchito421]
