Blind Boy Fuller's music has a bit more of a edge to it than some of the other musicians who came out of that region. Years ago, I had an opportunity to listen to some cuts that were recorded with a scrub-board player. It was rough stuff, but very compelling.
When I listen to Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, I can hear how they came out of the same stylistic tradition, but Sonny and Brownie developed a much more polished sound.
