I usually think of the blues as a delta thing, but that is probably just me, but you know that crossroad and the devil legend...

RL may have written down songs he heard, who wrote some of those songs is probably up for debate. Often the person first to record was recording songs he had heard elsewhere, and a lot of them got paid 20 bucks to sing into a box, the guy who recorded it got credit, or later managers did.

Blues has a problem, since you play in 4/4 time you are kind of trapped in a way.
