Agreed on these suggestions; however, not all of them were Delta bluesmen. Also, it's
Huddie William Ledbetter, aka
Lead Belly, not Leadbelly.
Keeping with Southern flavoured blues, I'd like to add these bluesmen:
Blind Willie Johnson
Mississippi Fred McDowell
Lightnin' Hopkins
John Lee Hooker (his album
Burning Hell is some of the best acoustic blues ever recorded)
Barbecue Bob
Big Bill Broonzy
Ishman Bracey
Reverend Gary Davis
Tampa Red
Bukka White
The Mississippi Sheiks were one of the, if not the most popular band in Mississippi, and most of the South, of their time.
