Junior Kimbrough's "Meet Me In The City" first recorded in 1966 is a master class of what can be done using just one chord - the A chord in this case. The fingerpicked melody breaks off into the hippest boogie beat, interestingly enough that idea was coined "the get down" only a few short years later when in the 1970's hip hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash came on the scene. It's hard not to draw a parallel between Hill Country, or at least the intent of the style, and hip hop beats.
