Try some Skip James. All that early, Delta-blues stuff sounds cool. Electric blues kinda loses me.

This is what I'm listening to on this drizzly Sunday.
Swedish punk rock - (This ain't yo mamma's ABBA!)
Nordic folk/punk (a lot of which sounds like it could have come from Appalachia)
Astronomy Rock, including Astronomy Rock Radio, Starbirth music and The Orion Syndrome, neither of which is large enough to even have an apparent web presence.
Zydeco
Arabic female vocalists including one of my favs Natasha Atlas
Fado
zydeco > klezmer > reggae
I'd be inclined to agree with you two otherwise, but I give zydeco a near pass because this is one of the more tolerable children's albums I've been subjected to over the last few years.

This is where rock and roll came from; if you like rock and roll, you'll probably love this stuff. For folks looking for some good Jump samplers, the best I've ever come across are the two CDs from the Blues Masters collections, volumes 5 and 14:

Mississippi Rolling Stone by Ike & Tina Turner
This, also Charlie Patton.
For Robert Johnson fans that want to delve into the world of prewar country blues I would recommend this album as a starting point
