The collection DEVIL'S BEST FRIEND brings together some of the greatest tracks by two of the most influential blues innovators of the late 1920s, Charley Patton and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Eight cuts apiece are on offer here from each blues icon. Patton's haunted Delta blues sound inspired Robert Johnson and countless others, while the work of Jefferson helped define the early Texas blues style. Those who only want to dip a tentative toe into the catalogs of both men will be well served by this compact-but-incisive collection.
