Get out of here. You mean this motherfucker actually made his guitar "talk". Man, who does that? That's incredible. People wonder why I love the blues so much. I would suggest Charley Patton to them, but I don't think they will "get it".

Charley Patton and Bertha Lee duetting.

This is one of Charley's final records - he died just 3 months later.

Thankyou for all the music, Charley - it will live for ever! You and Son House are the sacred heart of the blues to me.

Wow, so long ago , I hear History. I wonder if he ever thought that people would remember him.

[Morthund]

if you check the net for Robert Crumbs comics from the 70's, about the life of Charlie Patton you might not be dissapointed, it's the most approachable history of delta blues i know of ;)

The best possible original 45s used for digital transfer are not always in the best condition which might be an impediment to some while attempting to enjoy music made in the earlier part of the past century. However, flaws resulting from age can actually add an appropriate aesthetic to these old Delta Blues recordings. In this case, the rhythm of the sound made as the record spins eventually ends up in sync with the rhythm of the song!

This is a primal chant. Deeper than this, there ain't.
