The Day Charley Patton Changed the Blues

Blues historian Rick Kennedy digs deep into musical history for this look at the moment Charley Patton changed the blues forever.

Kennedy is the author of 'Jelly Roll, Bix, and Hoagy,' an in-depth look at Gennett Records and the three men who helped define blues music. The Indiana-based record label represented many iconic blues musicians in its more than three decades of operation. The label may have faded to obscurity, but Kennedy shines a light on one of its most memorable moments here.
