The Father of the Delta Blues, Charley Patton (c.1891--1934) was born and raised amid Mississippi's cotton plantations. During the 1920s he was the first of the region's great stars, performing for packed houses throughout the South and making popular recordings in New York City. His music---ranging from blues and ballads to ragtime and gospel---is distinctive for his gravely, high-energy singing and the propulsive beat of his guitar. Patton possessed a lively stage presence, originating many of the guitar-playing antics now associated with Jimi Hendrix and other latter-day musicians. His influence, among both his contemporaries and subsequent blues artists, is incalculable. Noted guitarist John Fahey presents a textual and musicological examination of Charley Patton's music. This new edition of the original 1970 publication is enhanced by Fahey's notes from the GRAMMY award-winning, out-of-print boxed set, Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues: The Worlds of Charley Patton. Available for the first time outside the set, Fahey's reconsideration on Patton's music offers fresh perspectives and key corrections of the historical record.
