For the guy who wanted the list. Lightnin’ is arguably the best, but try; Leadbelly, son house, skip james, blind willie mc tell, blind willie Johnson, scrapper Blackwell, blind lemon Jefferson and Robert Johnson. They are all acoustic blues guitarists which is what was used in this song. Many of them have more of a delta blues style though. Lightnin went through phases like many of them as blues evolved when electric became more accessible. If you prefer the more modern sounding style and electric blues; muddy waters, howlin wolf, John lee hooker, Elmore James. For lightnin song suggestions, baby please don’t go, black ghost blues, nothin but the blues, mojo hand. Hopefully that helps. My Credentials: 18 years of blues guitar and studying of the different styles.
