Incredible, virtuosic. Holy crap. Charley to Johnson to Hendrix to... I'm still waiting. I love Clapton, but he's not the heir of these men. He's far too British.

Charley Patton was as great as Robert Johnson.

I don't care how good howlin' wolf was and i have respect for he was great BUT , you can't compare him to Charley man, Charley was one of a kind, you can hear the mules rolling the earth when he's singing man!

@rfw45 Howlin Wolf modeled his style after the Great Charlie Patton. And so did many other Blues Men who came across Charlie Patton. Charlie Patton was like the Jimi Hendrix of his time, tricks and all!
