CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Anyone looking for versions of the great bluesman Charley Patton's timeless songs need go no further than Patton's original recordings. Patton is considered the first Delta Blues master, and hearing pub rocker Graham Parker deliver his take on "Poor Me" does no favors to either Patton or Parker. Stick to the originals or Howling Wolf's various Patton covers. --Mike Johnson Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsPlay it again, Sam Media Vixen | New York, NY USA | 11/22/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "I can't even remember why I bought this, but I am glad I forgot. It's really quite beautiful. I must admit I don't know Patton's music back ward and forward but this is moving, interesting, and, ( is this damning with faint praise?) PLEASANT to listen to. Good for anytime, anyplace, I say. Parker's cover is arresting. Lots of subtlety and terrific musicianship on this CD. More than worth a risk. Did I mention sexy and scary?" Great interpretations Starhead | Moss Beach, CA USA | 12/23/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is one of those rare tribute albums that's so good you buy a bunch more tribute albums trying to find one just like it. The originals are pretty tough listening with notoriously bad sound quality. Great stuff, but not for regular listening. This album moves the songs out of history and into the present and it sounds great with some very interesting tracks." Found it to be a really enjoyable cd musicfaninnewyork | 09/28/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I agree the Graham Parker performance is great but so is Snooky Pryor's track which is my favorite. Just behind that are the great acoustic performances by Charlie Musselwhite and Joe Louis Walker. There are surprise interpretations on the album that i found delightful. I've been very pleased by this project and was amazed to see the bad revue below. Since it was too negative, i thought I'd post my views."
