  • the boweavil insect decimated cotton crops,its presence was very bad news for those who were dependant on growing and harvesting cotton in the us, for their yearly income.there would be little spare change for entertainers/bluesmen like charlie patton.many of whom had their own boweavil number in their reportoire.

  • Sounds Like open B....always thought it was in D.

  • @livehop No, Rock is just the blues.

  • Im sure it was Patton that W.C. Handy heard do the blues first befor claiming it for himself. Patton was the first blues recording star. Although there where other's out there,Patton was more popular.

  • I don't see how any blues lover could deny this.. sure the lyrics aren't exactly pitch perfect, but the guitar work, slides, and rising tempo are masterful!

  • I think Charlie's singing sounds alot like an American Indian's Chant...

  • what a riff

  • love it dont like the REVERB, thank-you

  • Same here
