Biography

Charley Patton's gruff vocals and maniacal guitar style set the pace for Mississippi Delta blues in the 1920s, inspiring a generation of bluesmen that included Son House, Bukka White, and Robert Johnson. Patton died prematurely of heart failure in 1934, leaving behind fewer than 70 recorded sides.
