Music reviews of King of the Delta Blues
Music Review: Fine companion volume to "Founder Of The Delta Blues"
Rating: 4 Stars
The 26-track "Founder Of The Delta Blues" stood for decades as the ultimate Charlie Patton-compilation, until it was overtaken by newer compilations with better fidelity, and this is its sister volume, which contains another 23 songs (including some alternate takes that were for years thought to be lost).The sound here is vastly superior to "Founder Of The Delta Blues", due to excellent remastering, and the highlights include "Mean Black Cat Blues", "Some Summer Day" (which is actually Charlie Patton's adaption of "Sitting On Top Of The World"), and both parts of "Prayer Of Death", originally issued under the pseudonym of Elder J.J. Hadley.
The only problem with this fine collection is that it really can't stand alone...too many of Patton's best songs are missing, and if you do want more than one Patton disc, go for Recall's double-disc "Screamin' & Hollerin' The Blues", the British Catfish-label's excellent three-disc "The Definitive Charley Patton", or the even more comprehensive (and exquisitely remastered) JSP-collection "Complete Recordings 1929-34".
