Charley Patton - Poor Me

This song is from the collection Founder of the Delta Blues, a title chosen because Charley Patton was a generation older than cohorts like Robert Johnson. Towards the end of his life his voice became more and more gravelly, and the contrast between that roughness and his often delicate guitar playing creates a unique sound. As always, if you're unfamiliar with this music but like it, check out the information about Patton available on the Web.
