Country Blues

According to wikipedia;

Country blues (also folk blues, rural blues, backwoods blues, or downhome blues) refers to all the acoustic, guitar-driven forms of the blues. After blues' birth in the southern United States, it quickly spread throughout the country (and elsewhere), giving birth to a host of regional styles. These include Memphis, Detroit, Chicago, Texas, Piedmont, Louisiana, Western, Atlanta, St. Louis, East Coast, Swamp, New Orleans, Delta and Kansas City blues.

Blind Blake has the right stuff, you know the stuff that I am talking about. And the real amazing thing about him is that he is not on everybody's radar. I have to admit that I came to his music a little late in my blues education. It was not until I really started digging into the blues and the guitar work of some of the founders of the blues that I came across his music. It is a kind of ragtime for guitar, and it is good. Check it out.
