CHARLEY PATTON - COMPLETE RECORDED WORKS VOLUME 1 VINYL
CHARLEY PATTON
Regular price
$40.00 AUD
Known as "the father of the Delta Blues", Charley Patton is considered to be one of the most important and influential American musicians of the twentieth century. His influence burns brightly into the modern age, with such diverse acts as Bob Dylan and British indie band, Gomez famously name-checking him in song titles.
Patton's recording legacy is extraordinary. In the wake of his local reputation, he was introduced to Paramount Records by early talent scout, Henry Spier. Patton would go on to record 68 songs in a tight period between 1929 and 1934. During this time of intense prolificacy he became the largest selling blues artist of his generation. Literally, the man responsible for elevating the blues idiom to a whole new level.
