Charlie Patton has one of the best guttural growl singing styles I've heard. Very cool stuff. Though my favorite singers have to be Son House, Skip James- haunting falsetto, and Big Bill Broonzy.

"Some These Days" is one of my favorites too. Also "Down the Dirt Road", "Spoonful" & "Mississippi Boll Weavil". I think his voice would have to rank up there as one of the most distinctive, as well as one…
