"Born into poverty in Mississippi at the close of the nineteenth century, Charley
Patton and Jimmie Rodgers established themselves among the most influential musicians
of their era. In Tune tells the story of the parallel careers of these two pioneering
recording artists--one black, one white--who moved beyond their humble origins to
change the face of American music. At a time when segregation formed impassable lines
of demarcation in most areas of southern life, music transcended racial boundaries.
Jimmie Rodgers and Charley Patton drew inspiration from musical traditions on both
sides of the racial divide, and their songs about hard lives, raising hell, and the
hope of better days ahead spoke to white and black audiences alike. Their music reflected
the era in which they lived but evoked a range of timeless human emotions. As the
invention of the phonograph disseminated traditional forms of music to a wider audience,
Jimmie Rodgers gained fame as the 'Father of Country Music, ' while Patton's work
eventually earned him the title 'King of the Delta Blues.' Patton and Rodgers both
died young, leaving behind a relatively small number of recordings. Though neither
remains well known to mainstream audiences, the impact of their contributions echoes
in the songs of today."--Publisher's Web site
