Comments for Patton, Charlie, Founder Of The Delta Blues 1929-34

A cornerstone of any blues collection, this is where you start. As compilations go, this originally started life as a double record set featuring all of Patton`s best known titles and sound wise was miles above all previous versions. Its compact disc incarnation here trims the tune list to 24 tracks, but all the seminal tracks are here: "PonyBlues," "High Water Everywhere," "Screamin` And Hollerin` The Blues," "A Spoonful Blues," "Shake It And Break It" and the wistful "Poor Me," recorded at his final session in 1934, a scant two months before he died.
