Patton growled like a 500 pound howler monkey when he sang, & while constantly interrupting himself for commentary, liked to flip his guitar down to his knees or over his shoulders. His penchants for flashy string popping, or finishing his vocal lines by making his guitar talk were stolen by every blues player who saw him alive. And he never fails to knock the beat to the ground & use his guitar to poke it until it shudders & surrenders.
