Charley Patton – The Father of Delta Blues: Selections from Paramount Recordings, Vol. 2 [BFRSD2025]

The raw, thunderous power of Charley Patton resounds once again in this essential second volume of Father of the Delta Blues: Selections from Paramount Recordings. These tracks capture Patton at his most urgent and unfiltered, delivering fierce slide guitar, hollered vocals, and lyrics steeped in mystery, defiance, and deep Mississippi soul. This volume continues the excavation of Pattons singular legacy: part preacher, part trickster, part storyteller. Lovingly restored and remastered by Dave Gardner, Volume Two is not just a document of early bluesit’s a glimpse into the roots of American music itself, where rhythm met rebellion and history was etched into shellac.
