| Charley
(a.k.a. Charlie) Patton was the most powerful blues recording artist
of all time, considered by many to be the single most important
figure in the history of traditional blues. He was a profound shaper
and a giant figure in early Mississippi Delta music. The combined
power of this vocal and guitar dynamics is unparalleled and he was
the Delta's first blues celebrity. Founder contains his most
famous blues while the companion album (2001) virtually completes
Patton's legacy and includes recently discovered unissued takes.
Focusing on the breadth of his repertoire, it evokes a sense of
what the earliest blues stylings may have sounded like, and includes
bottleneck blues and sanctified songs. |
