With a voice robust enough to uproot trees from the ground, and guitar playing that's unruly & impudent with corn liquor, Patton captured the imagination of the entire South. The guy every decent blues player from Howlin Wolf to John Fahey wished he could be. Here's a chunk of his 2nd Grafton session. Tracklisting: Some of These Days I'll Be Gone, Elder Green Blues, Jim Lee Pt. 1, Jim Lee Pt. 2, Mean Black Cat Blues, Jesus Is a Dying Bed Maker, Elder Green Blues, When Your Way Gets Dark, Some of These Days I'll Be Gone, Heart Like Railroad Steel, Circle Round the Moon, You're Gonna Need Somebody When You Die.
