For starters, Yazoo's Charlie Patton compilation FOUNDER OF THE DELTA BLUES is of great historical import. It provides a document of the man that influenced--whether directly or indirectly--every blues musician who followed him, including Son House, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and Howlin' Wolf. Beyond that, however, the music is purely brilliant. Patton played with an intensity, rhythmic sophistication, and fierce exuberance that burns across the years through the crackle of these 78s.
FOUNDER collects some of Patton's best performances, representing the full range of his repertoire, which included rags, gospel songs, ballads, and traditional blues. Featured here are "Pony Blues," "Mississippi Bo Weavil Blues," and "A Spoonful Blues," among others. In addition to Patton's gravelly, soulful singing, his guitar playing--with its spit-fire slides, chattering high/low interplay, popped and thumped bass strings, and insistent primal pulse--writes the blues guitar textbook. Dynamic, thrilling, heartbreaking, and as fresh now as when it was recorded, Patton's music will sear its way into the heart and mind of anyone fortunate enough to hear it. FOUNDER is, quite simply, one of the most important blues records in existence.
