King of the Delta Blues
註釋Born 130 years ago in the heart of Mississippi, Charlie Patton (c. 1891-1934) is considered by many to be a father of the Delta blues. With his bullish baritone voice and his fluid slide guitar touch, Patton established songs like "Pony Blues," "A Spoonful Blues," and "High Water Everywhere" in the blues lexicon and, through his imitators, in American music. But over the decades, his contributions to blues music have been overshadowed in popularity by those of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and other mid-century bluesmen and women who've experienced a resurgence in their music.
