CHARLEY PATTON “Electrically Recorded: Prayer Of Death”
Format: LP
Barcode: 8013252453045
From the granddaddy of Delta blues comes this incredible compilation of his greatest songs. Charley Patton s influence on music cannot be overstated. He began playing music around 1900 and by the time he was 19, about a decade later, he had already written his most popular tune “Pony Blues” and was on his way to becoming the first superstar of the Delta Blues and a household name. He was soon the most requested performer all over the South and influenced many young musicians, like Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker and Robert Johnson, to name a few. But it was not only his mastery of the guitar and incredible vocal style that gained him popularity. His rock star-style showmanship and stage antics – like playing guitar down on his knees or behind his back – with a girl on each arm and drink in hand after the show, made him the idol of young would-be musicians (and non) everywhere he played. And like a true rock star, by age 42 he was dead, which of course, only fuelled his fame.
