I recently discovered John Fahey. Hes primative/folk/acoustic blues mostly. Hes one of the pioneers of acoustic and hes really talented. Just not many people have heard of him. By the way he grew up in my town.

Heres a link to one of my favorite songs by him. It's called Dance of the Inhabitants of the Palace of King Phillip XIV of Spain (wow what a mouthfull). He does a bunch of improv in the song, so if you just want the "studio" version skip to about 4:30
