Hey Sup Forums, how come you people rarely talk about music recorded before 1960? Let's get some great older tunes in this thread.

Which are some of Sup Forums's favorite bluesmen from before 1960?
Charley Patton - Shake it and Break it
youtube.com
Tommy Johnson - Cool Drink of Water blues
youtube.com
His 1939 album "The Blues" is my favorite by him.
Liam Collins
Because Sup Forums only talks about the same >100 artists/albums over and over
Some other user showed me this

Carson Stewart
Meant to say
Jayden Long
Are you the user from the "Rate the last album you've listened for the FIRST TIME" thread?
I was the one who recommended you that song if so, I'm glad you liked it.
You probably will also enjoy Devil Got My Woman, by Skip James
youtube.com
Robert Johnson was influenced by it.
Ethan Taylor
Yeah lol. I'll check that out too thank you.
Eli Murphy
Good choices. I'm going to have to add the following:
Mississippi John Hurt: youtube.com
Skip James: youtube.com
Jimmie Rodgers (the "father of country music" but heavily steeped in the blues): youtube.com
Zachary Davis
Looks like I recommended the same Skip James song, so I'll offer up this early Lightnin' Hopkins as a replacement!
Nicholas Ward
All good choices as well.
If you would like a more "feelsy" Jimmie Rodgers, I recommend you Riley Puckett, the guitar player from Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers. Presumably the first country musician to implement yodeling in his songs as well

Jacob Diaz
Really amazing song
Ian Flores
I've actually never heard of him! Thanks for the rec.
Jose Jenkins
I'm definitely hearing that old British Isles folk influence. It reminds me a lot of traditional Irish songs.
Oliver Anderson
Some more Jimmie Rodgers: youtube.com
Luis Gomez
Most of the music I like didn't start coming around til the mid 60s.
Of crouse I still like some older stuff.

A lot of 50s music too but eh.
Evan Roberts
How about some more early rock n roll in here too?
Blake Fisher
John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf are the bee's knees
Jacob Reyes
Christian Brown
A classic

Josiah Jenkins
Link Wray's Rumble from 1958
youtube.com
Crazy influential.
Lot of groundbreaking jazz in the late 50's
In 1959 alone:
Coltrane's Countdown was all over the place with placing a drum solo first and then slowly workin towards the theme: youtube.com
Ornette Coleman's Lonely Woman set the scene for playing free with no harmony instrument to provide the chords or steady rhythm: youtube.com
Miles Davis' Kind of Blue brought in the modal jazz -age . chord progressions didn't need to resolve through the traditional pattern: youtube.com
Jayden Williams
shoutout to Les Paul
he might be best known for the Gibson guitar model named after him, but he was an innovator on multi-track recording techniques and studio effects - the upcoming revolution of studio driven music that gave us Beach Boys' Pet Sounds or Beatles' Revolver owes much of it to multi-track recording and effects pioneers like Paul.
Les Paul has been for good reason inducted to both the Rock and Roll and National Invetor Halls of Fame. He has pretty much shaped the course of modern music as much as anyone else living or dear.
