CHARLEY PATTON HANG IT ON THE WALL

THE GODFATHER OF THE DELTA BLUES

Audio CD (19 April 2004)
Original recording remastered
Recording information: 1929 - 1934.
Format:Flac

This disc contains most of Charley Pattern's most well known songs. His guitar work is superb and fills the gap between the heavy, percussive style of Son House and the sophisticated, subtler style of Robert Johnson. But his vocals are also distinctive and very powerful.

Charlie Patton was one of the first mainstream stars of the Delta blues genre. Patton, who was born in Hinds County, Mississippi near Edwards, lived most of his life in Sunflower County, in the Mississippi Delta. Most sources say he was born in 1891, but there is some debate about this, and the years 1887 and 1894 have also been suggested. In 1900, his family moved 100 miles north to the legendary 10,000-acre Dockery Plantation sawmill and cotton farm near Ruleville, Mississippi. It was here that both John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf fell under the Patton spell. It was also here that Robert Johnson played and was given his first guitar.
Patton's ethnicity is the subject of minor debate. Though he was considered African-American, because of his light complexion there have been rumours that he was Mexican, or possibly a full-blood Cherokee, a theory endorsed by Howlin' Wolf. In actuality, Patton was a mix of white, black, and Cherokee (one of his grandmothers was a full-blooded Cherokee). Patton himself sang in "Down the Dirt Road Blues" of having gone to "the Nation" and "the Territory'" -- meaning the Cherokee Nation portion of the Indian Territory (which became part of the state of Oklahoma in 1907), where a number of Black Indians tried unsuccessfully to claim a place on the tribal rolls and thereby obtain land.
