hmmm. I was actually thinking of starting a "YouTube Blues" thread not 2 hours ago as I was checking out Skip James clips.

I'm kinda opposed to the "folk/country/blues" lumping on principal; would much prefer a "country blues/urban blues/jump R&B/gospel/soul jazz" thread, but if anyone can go here/anywhere it's the king Mississippi John Hurt:

These videos are way too rich to watch in one sitting -- earthshattering stuff on this thread.

Here's Jenks "Tex" Carman, uncharacteristically sticking to 4/4 but still sounding great: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kn76-dmJXqs
