Charley Patton Expanded Edition

三角洲藍調之父查利-帕頓（Charley Patton，約 1891-1934 年）出生並成長於密西西比的棉花種植園。20 世紀 20 年代，他成為該地區的第一位巨星，在整個南部為座無虛席的觀眾表演，並在紐約錄製了廣受歡迎的唱片。他的音樂--從藍調和民謠到拉格泰姆舞曲和福音--以其嚴肅、高亢的歌聲和吉他的強勁節奏而獨樹一幟。帕頓在舞臺上生動活潑，許多吉他彈奏的滑稽動作現在都與吉米-亨德里克斯（Jimi Hendrix）和其他後世音樂家有關。他對同時代和後來的藍調藝術家的影響是無法估量的。著名吉他手約翰-法黑（John Fahey）對查利-帕頓的音樂進行了文字和音樂學方面的研究。這本 1970 年出版的原版書的新版本增加了 Fahey 從格萊美獲獎絕版盒裝唱片《Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues》中摘錄的注釋：查利-巴頓的世界》。法黑對巴頓音樂的重新審視提供了全新的視角，並對歷史記錄進行了關鍵性的修正

原文簡介:
The Father of the Delta Blues, Charley Patton (c.1891--1934) was born and raised amid Mississippi's cotton plantations. During the 1920s he was the first of the region's great stars, performing for packed houses throughout the South and making popular recordings in New York City. His music---ranging from blues and ballads to ragtime and gospel---is distinctive for his gravely, high-energy singing and the propulsive beat of his guitar. Patton possessed a lively stage presence, originating many of the guitar-playing antics now associated with Jimi Hendrix and other latter-day musicians. His influence, among both his contemporaries and subsequent blues artists, is incalculable. Noted guitarist John Fahey presents a textual and musicological examination of Charley Patton's music. This new edition of the original 1970 publication is enhanced by Fahey's notes from the GRAMMY award-winning, out-of-print boxed set, Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues: The Worlds of Charley Patton. Available for the first time outside the set, Fahey's reconsideration on Patton's music offers fresh perspectives and key corrections of the historical record.
