“Jinx Blues Parts 1&2” were recorded in the 1940’s is Son House’s version of Willie Browns “Future Blues”. Other delta blues artist, Tommy Johnson and Charley Patton also used this string snap depending bass line on their classics “Maggie Campbell,” “Screamin’ and Hollerin’ the Blues” and “High Water Everywhere.” No slide involved here, but you see the recurring barring of the IV, V chords ala “Death Letter Blues,” etc.
