Our Take

Charley Patton takes us down the dirt road of blues in his latest compilation album, "Down The Dirt Road Blues - 1929-1934 Wisconsin And New York Recordings." This album is a treasure trove of classic blues tracks that will have you tapping your foot and swaying along in no time.

From the moment you press play, you're transported back to the smoky, dimly lit juke joints of the 1930s, where Patton's soulful voice and twangy guitar licks take center stage. Tracks like "Shake It and Break It" and "Pony Blues" showcase his raw talent and undeniable charisma, making it impossible not to get lost in the music.

Patton's unique blend of Delta blues, folk, and gospel influences shines through in every track, creating a sound that is both timeless and distinctly his own. His emotive lyrics and dynamic guitar playing paint a vivid picture of life in the Mississippi Delta, capturing the raw emotion and heartache of the era.

Despite the scratchy production quality typical of recordings from the 1930s, Patton's music still jumps out of the speakers with an undeniable energy and power. Each track on this compilation is a gem, showcasing the genius of one of the most influential blues musicians of the early 20th century.
