The Life and Music of Charlie Patton
Russell Davies travels to
Chicago and the Mississippi Delta to explore the life and legacy of the man known as the King of the Delta Blues, who died in 1934. Enthusiasts, contemporaries and hitherto undiscovered relatives search to unravel the mysteries of this hard-living, womanising songster of the plantation jook houses.
