Synopsis

Noted guitarist John Fahey turns his attention to Charley Patton with a close, music-focused study that combines textual commentary with musicological insight. This edition is augmented with Fahey’s notes originally prepared for the Grammy-winning, out-of-print boxed set, Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues: The Worlds of Charley Patton, made available here outside that collection for the first time.

Alongside this additional material, Fahey revisits Patton’s music to offer updated perspectives and to address points where the historical record benefits from correction.
