Description
Due to the Romance and Mystery Surrounding his Life and Death, Robert Johnson was One of the Few Blues Singers to Capture the Imagination of the Public at Large. But Johnson was Essentially an Interpreter Rather Than an Innovator: For this We Must Turn to Charley Patton, the First and Greatest of the Mississippi Delta Blues Singers (Not to Mention Hellraiser, Womaniser, and General Ne'er-do-well!). Patton Created Many of the Classics Blues Songs that Brought Success to Those that Followed Him - Notably, Howling Wolf's Peerless `smokestack Lightning'. And Whilst his Guitar Playing is Always Powerful, It's When He Wields a Bottleneck that it Becomes Close to Sublime, a Pearlescent Tone that Dances around his DEEP, Blatant Vocals. With his Mannered Vocal Style Charley is Sometimes Hard to Listen To, but the Effort is Always Rewarding, Ensuring his Reputation as the Voice of the Delta - the Legend that Appears on his Headstone.
