GUEST,Penguin Egg Charley Patton (17) RE: Charley Patton 17 Feb 04

Thank you for all your coments, although I would still love to hear from anyone who has purchased "Screamin' and Hollerin' The Blues," which contains a book about Patton by John Fahey. I wonder how that compares with "King of the Delta Blues" by Stephen Calt and Gayle Wardlow? I have gone to Blues Image and have ordered the Charley Patton t-shirt, so thanks for that fb.

I agree with Smokeyjoe that there is an enormous amount of feeling in Patton's music and that is where his attraction lies.

I know about teh 5 CD collection. I wonder if that would be a better buy than "Screamin' and Hollerin' The Blues?" It would certainly be cheaper, but I'm curious about the Fahey book, the posters, etc. Oh decisions, decisions. Maybe I should wait for my birthday and get someone to buy it for me.
