Charley Patton is generally regarded as being the father of Delta blues, and some consider him to be the King of Delta blues. He was a major influence on young musicians of the time, most notably a John Lee Hooker and Chester Burnett aka Howlin' Wolf. He was an accomplished guitar player and had a gritty, bellowing voice. His lifestyle was like that of the archetypal pre-war blues man- hard drinking, hard living and many times married (some reports suggest that he had as many as eight wives). He died from heart disease in 1934 a young man of 42. This CD is a sample review drawn from the 7 CD box-set, The World of Charley Patton which was released in 2003.
