Charley Patton "Father of the Delta Blues: Selections from Paramount Recordings" Vinyl, LP, Record Store Day, Compilation, Limited Edition, Remastered (2025 Org Music pressing)
Charley Patton (c. 1891–1934) is widely celebrated as the "Father of the Delta Blues," a pioneering figure whose raw, passionate performances helped define the genre during its formative years. His recordings for Paramount Records in the late 1920s and early 1930s capture the essence of Delta blues—gritty, emotional, and deeply expressive. This album, Selections from Paramount Recordings, presents a curated collection of Patton’s most influential tracks, showcasing his unique guitar style, powerful vocals, and lyrical storytelling.
Paramount Records, based in Grafton, Wisconsin, played a crucial role in documenting the early blues scene. Between 1929 and 1934, Charley Patton recorded dozens of sides for Paramount, many of which have become cornerstones of American roots music. These recordings were initially released as 78 rpm discs, intended for African-American audiences in the South but ultimately reaching listeners nationwide and influencing countless musicians.
