Excellent single-disc compilation

(5 out of 5 stars)
"This well-compiled 1999 Wolf collection is one of the best-sounding Charlie Patton-albums on the market. Wolf Records achieves a balance here, cutting down as much surface noise as possible without sapping the dynamics of the performance, and these 69 minutes of music include almost all of Patton's best songs.
There are numerous fine Patton-compilations on the market, including Yazoo's "The Best Of Charlie [sic] Patton" and Recall's very reasonably priced double-disc "Screamin' & Hollerin' The Blues", but it is doubtful whether any of them are better than this one."
A must for all

"This is a great album, I highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in the blues."
