Charley Patton -- Founder Of The Delta Blues

  Robert Johnson might have been the prolific Bluesman, but Patton was the pioneer.  Charley is the type of character that his life is shrouded in a cloud of mystique and legend, but his reputation proceeds his raw, deep and boisterous Delta Blues, to the point that he even undertook a young apprentice ... the soon to be Howlin' Wolf ... point is, music as we know it would not be the same without these trailblazers at the root to our culture!
