We used to sit and listen to charlie patton in the mid 60s up all night trying to hear the lyrics long before digital remastering charlie patton outweighed all who came after him by far
Now I know why Howlin Wolf said Charlie Patton was a bad mutha F^^^er. Charlie Patton did the blues like he was whoopin your ass with his music and his guitar and touchin your soul with his soul. I hear a lot of the blues masters took their training from Charlie Patton. Whatever the case it is a huge blessing to even have recordings of this great music. Without the blues, there is no real music. You have to have that element to give a soul to the music, no matter what style it is. The blues has to be there or it aint music.
Finally, I found the freakin' lyrics to this song! Ever since I heard it in Slender The Arrival, I've been listening and looking all over the place for this song for a few years! Plus, the game calls this song, Radio Country Song 2 OST, and I'm glad that I found the actual name too!
Thanks so much for the subtitles. Charley Patton can be really difficult to understand. But now I can read it, it seems he was recording something like a local newscast for how bad the 1927 floods got before they were finished. This is in sharp contrast to and allowed Dylan 75 years later to use the water rising metaphor as a general, philosophical danger faced by us all. Except, what could Patton mean by references to taking a ride on the big ice sled (4:39)? That's a weirder metaphor than any of Dylan's.
@@vincentjones5163 Try looking up Mississippi Flood of 1927 on RUclips. It was put out by the Corps of Engineers. Keep in mind Memphis Minnie's lyric, when the levee breaks mama you got to move!
Watch Rumble the 2017 documentary. In it, it is shown and explained that Native Americans and Blacks lived and worked together on cotton fields in the south, where Charley lived, and how Native American traditional rhythm and lyrical notes evolved and inspired the blues, jazz, and rock music genres. Charley lived right next to a reservation and those of that tribe who still practice the traditional music can hear "the indian music." With traditional Native American music, songs and drums, banned and made illegal Charley played his guitar like a drum. He is a fine example of how Native American musicians worked around the bans and laws to keep a piece of their tradition.
Out of this world👌👌👌

Loved these tunes for 50 years without making out all the lyrics. The feeling of the music was enough. Great to get all Charley was telling us.

Just reading there, 2nd part is probably referencing floods in Arkansas 1930. Very interesting I thought, as previous research stated Mississippi!

@@angelharper2176 I have heard it said that Charley had some Native American blood himself.
A lot of people thought so, because he was light-skinned ("red" in the vernacular of the day) and had prominent high cheekbones.
The record is spinning awfully slow for a 78
May that's cause it's a 33rpm lp!
Nice job indeed... plus I hadn't heard the yazoo restorations till now. Thanks for uploading
