Pony Blues

"Pony Blues" is a Delta blues song composed by Charley Patton. With the help of record store owner, H. C. Speir, Patton's first recording session occurred on June 14, 1929, cut six sides, included "Pony Blues" (vocal and guitar), for Paramount Records. [Dicaire, David. "Blues Singers", McFarland & Company (1999), page 7 - ISBN 0786406062] The song later became a Delta staple and was part of every young guitarist's repertoire. Patton had a repertoire of his own compositions which he recorded at the session, included "Banty Rooster Blues," "Down the Dirt Road" and his version of "Mississippi Bo Weavil Blues."
