5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent single-disc compilation, February 19, 2004

This review is from: Pony Blues: His 23 Greatest Songs (Audio CD)

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.
