Yazoo releases The Best of Charlie Patton, on vinyl. Patton's legacy is pervasive and influenced generations of blues musicians. His greatness as a singer and musician is apparent from his very best, which obviously are among the greatest examples of rural black music ever preserved. "After 90-odd years, Patton's sheer focus and magnetic, almost palpable presence will still jump out of your speakers and grab you by the throat."-Rolling Stone[info sheet from distr.]
