Charley Patton was born in April of 1891 (though people aren't entirely sure if that's when he was born) in Hinds County Mississippi. Considered Father of the Delta Blues, Charley learned how to play guitar at a young age. His music has created a template for many other Delta Blues musicians, like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, etc. The way he played the blues in someways was almost heavy and fast. Some of my favorite stories I've heard was that he was a force when playing live shows. He would do things from toss his guitar into the air, play really fast, and even played with his tounge (something you wouldn't see until the Jimi Hendrix years). You can say he started the blues years with how he played. Now I know they're were other blues musicians before him, but something in his music really started something amongst the music world. I believe he made a huge cultural impact. I'd like to know if anyone else has listen to this legend? To me he's the greatest blues musician of all time.
