"In the song Clarence Carter chronicles harrowing family life of Patches. This ballad is remembered by people until now. Clarence Carter is one of the people who lend meaning to suffering and rescues dignity from disaster, his songs weave in and out of direct talk to the audience and also tells how he came upon the difficulty of taking care his whole family. The lessons he teach are essential in a time of great difficulties. That’s as true now as it ever was"
