Superb music, and superb photographs. Who was the photographer? Walker Evans? Thanks for posting this.

Hi, Walker Evans performed some good pictures in 1930, and you can see some of their work and other photographers in SHORPY (Wonderful blog!).

Thanks for comment.

This music transcends space and time because it is soul to soul communication.

Great photos. Great music. Another reality. Charlie Patton. During the hardest years of my adult life, I used to listen to Charlie to go to sleep. God bless all the people I knew who had lived this reality and bless Charlie Patton.

Charlie was the voice of missery,poverty and hell. He was a master bluesman, he lived the lyrics. Charlies students were Son House and Howlin Wolf among others. The most haunting bluesmen that ever lived was Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson.

Thanks for the posting. It makes one wonder how the world has not change. Mind about money, richness and poberty is still the same. But the answer to these matters will not come down from heaven. It takes some effort to learn. Music and images are the same at this very moment all over the world. It takes consciousness to move all together to better times. The answer is not out side but in the very am of every person.

does anyone else notice a similarity with this and captain beefheart's "Sure 'nuff 'n Yes I do?"

Hey friend, I'm 61, and Charlie's a part of me since I was about the same age !

No matter what part of the world you grew up in; when you were a child of a dead poor dirt farmer you can intuitively relate to this song and these pictures.
