One step further into the life and music of this true superstar of early blues, this compilation features the two-part "High Water Everywhere", considered to be one of the greatest blues songs of all time, along with other pearls like "Devil Sent The Rain Blues", making this second episode of Monk's retrospective on Patton, another must have.
