This ctalog of recordings from one of blues finest, rawest, and almost undiscovered and under appreciated artists is truly amazing. The raw energy is fast and furious. The technical precision on his guitar is far ahead of it's time. The emotional feeling and meaning not only behind every word and note played but also in the lyrics is truly original and can only come from someone who has truly lived every word and story passed along in these recordings. The sound is something one has to get used to. It is poor to say the least, but only because of the awful damage that time and inproper storage of the original tapes can cause. Those who already know the blues and those who are looking to get started on it and learn from it can do nothing less than benefit from hearing these songs written by one of blues' great pioneers whom is still truly missed and still highly respected.Read full review
Move over Robert Johnson...you learned everything you know from Charley Patton.
