Contributions by Luther Allison, John Broven, Daniel Droixhe, David Evans, William Ferris, Jim O'Neal, Mike Rowe, Robert Sacré, Arnold Shaw, and Dick Shurman Fifty years after Charley Patton's death in 1934, a team of blues experts gathered five thousand miles from Dockery Farms at the University of Liege in Belgium to honor the life and music of the most influential artist of the Mississippi Delta blues. This volume brings together essays from that international symposium on Charley Patton and Mississippi blues traditions, influences, and comparisons. Originally published by Presses Universitaires de Liège in Belgium, this collection has been revised and updated with a new foreword by William Ferris, new images added, and some essays translated into English for the first time. Patton's personal life and his recorded music bear witness to how he endured and prevailed in his struggle as a black man during the early twentieth century. Within this volume, that story offers hope and wonder. Organized in two parts--"Origins and Traditions" and "Comparison with Other Regional Styles and Mutual Influence"--the essays create an invaluable resource on the life and music of this early master. Written by a distinguished group of scholars, these pieces secure the legacy of Charley Patton as the fountainhead of Mississippi Delta blues.

"Charlie Patton (1891-1934) was born in central Mississippi. By 1908, he had begun his performing career, initially at small house parties, then at barrelhouses and other settings that could accommodate a hundred people or more. Until his death in 1934, Patton was a top draw for the numerous African Americans then living and working in the Delta. In 1929 and 1930, he recorded several hits for Paramount Records, on the basis of which he was sought by the American Record Company in January 1934 for what would be his last recordings. He was immensely influential to other bluesmen, including Tommy Johnson, Kid Bailey, Robert Johnson, and Howlin' Wolf. Since 1991, his collected recordings have been available to the wider public. This book was previously published in 1988 under the authorship of Wardlow (b. 1940) and Calt (1946-2010). Its sole printing of 3,000 paperback copies sold out within seven years, and since 1988 additional recordings of Patton and his associates have been recovered and widely reissued to the public, particularly on Jack White's Third Man Records. Komara (b. 1966) has updated Wardlow and Calt's original edition and has written a new afterword discussing a resurgence of Delta-blues-style rock and the continuing influence of Patton and the music genre he helped pioneer"--

Come home Charley Patton is a moving and an imaginative memoir documenting the Civil Rights Era and contemporary southern culture. Intricately layered and deeply arresting, Ralph Lemon’s research on the African American experience intertwines personal anecdotes and family remembrances with diaristic accounts of the making of a dance, as Lemon journeys the mythic roads of migration—visiting the sites of lynchings, following the paths of Civil Rights marches, and meeting the descendants of early blues musicians. Come home Charley Patton is a rich, transcendent text, and a historically-charged meditation on memory in America. It is a formidable finale for the Geography trilogy (including Geography and Tree), three books connected thematically by racial identity and the related dance projects choreographed by Lemon. Generously illustrated with family photos, original art, and photos of the performance, the book will take its place in the canon of great African American writing.

"Travel back to the birth of the blues, from the age-old field-hollers of Mississippi cotton fields to the hidden world of Delta juke joints, to the nightclubs of Chicago." - See Reviews Below "Finding Charley Patton" is a historical novel set in 1930, in Mississippi and Chicago. An African American reporter for the Chicago Defender travels back to Mississippi to find the mysterious Delta blues musicians who began appearing on 'race records' in the late 1920s. Black history and the blues are deeply interwoven into the fabric of America. The emergence of the radical new African American artform called "the Blues," and the blues culture the music inspired, had a profound impact on American society, both artistically and culturally. Yet the story of the blues is an often-overlooked chapter in the nation's history. In this rousing and entertaining adventure book, the story follows reporter Cyrus Jordan on his challenging journey, deep into "Jim-Crow" Mississippi, to write a story about the new Delta blues music. Cyrus Jordan, had worked in the Delta as a young man, and he hopes to find one bluesman in particular that he'd known there, named Charley Patton, who's recently been making records for Paramount. During the trip, the elusive history of the blues unfolds, along with the troubling social history of African Americans in Mississippi. But the book is about much more than the hard times often sung about in blues songs. It is also a tale of triumph over adversity and a great road-trip story, with a cast of complex and colorful characters and great blues music. The novel journeys deep into the hidden world of blues music found in cotton fields, juke joints, recording studios, and on street corners. The story follows the exploits of Mississippi blues musicians Charley Patton, Son House, Willie Brown, and their young proteges Robert Johnson, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, as they perform around the Delta during the vibrant days of the early blues. The book also explores the Chicago blues scene of the 1920s and pioneering black record producer Mayo Williams, who recorded the early blues records for Paramount. As a black man from Chicago, Cyrus Jordan's long and arduous trip back to Mississippi to search for his old friend Charley Patton, whose music had transcended the Delta, becomes a journey into finding Cyrus's own roots and American identity. "Finding Charley Patton" is an inspiring story of music and life.

Born into poverty in Mississippi at the close of the nineteenth century, Charley Patton and Jimmie Rodgers established themselves among the most influential musicians of their era. In Tune tells the story of the parallel careers of these two pioneering recording artists -- one white, one black -- who moved beyond their humble origins to change the face of American music. At a time when segregation formed impassable lines of demarcation in most areas of southern life, music transcended racial boundaries. Jimmie Rodgers and Charley Patton drew inspiration from musical traditions on both sides of the racial divide, and their songs about hard lives, raising hell, and the hope of better days ahead spoke to white and black audiences alike. Their music reflected the era in which they lived but evoked a range of timeless human emotions. As the invention of the phonograph disseminated traditional forms of music to a wider audience, Jimmie Rodgers gained fame as the "Father of Country Music," while Patton's work eventually earned him the title "King of the Delta Blues." Patton and Rodgers both died young, leaving behind a relatively small number of recordings. Though neither remains well known to mainstream audiences, the impact of their contributions echoes in the songs of today. The first book to compare the careers of these two musicians, In Tune is a vital addition to the history of American music.
