  • Description

    When it comes to the Delta blues, all roads lead to its father figure Charley Patton, an immensely gifted performer, Patton served as a major influence on other legendary bluesmen who followed including Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.

    This Rough Guide has been lovingly remastered using pioneering restoration techniques, so you can experience the never-before heard clarity of his mesmerising guitar licks and voice. Considered by many as the single most important figure in the history of traditional blues, Charley Patton epitomised the life of the wandering bluesman and was a towering example to all those that followed. Includes many of his most famous tracks including 'A Spoonful Blues', 'Banty Rooster Blues' and 'Down The Dirt Road Blues'.
