What one of my customers had to say:
“True Delta Blues fans get it – Grego gets it – amazing stuff my friend.” – Dobro Steven – UK
Grego’s notes: “Of all the Blues men I tried listening to – it took the longest for me to be able to really “get” Charley Patton – many of the recordings were hard to hear with crackling and such – plus his voice sounded so foreign to me. After a long spell my ears finally became accustomed to his tone and I became fascinated pretty quickly. The greats never seem to have anyone truly sound like them, and Patton is certainly unique. I wish there was footage of him playing because it sounds like he would showboat and have a ball…. those juke joint nights must have been off the hook”
Charley Patton: The Father of Delta Blues
Born around May 1891 in the Mississippi Delta, near Edwards, Charley Patton is widely regarded as the founding figure of Delta blues. A singer, guitarist, and songwriter, Patton’s commanding voice, percussive guitar technique, and raw, emotive storytelling laid the groundwork for nearly every blues musician who followed.
Patton began performing in the 1910s, entertaining on street corners, juke joints, and plantation gatherings across Mississippi. His recordings for Paramount Records in the late 1920s, including Pony Blues, High Water Everywhere, and A Spoonful Blues, captured the hardships, humor, and resilience of African American life in the South. His music blended traditional folk songs with original compositions, pioneering the rhythmic, driving style that became a hallmark of Delta blues.
Known for his charismatic performances and larger-than-life persona, Patton influenced legends such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and Howlin’ Wolf. Charley Patton passed away on April 28, 1934, but his music endures as a blueprint for Delta blues, a raw, authentic, and deeply human expression of life in the Mississippi Delta.
