just finished editing a long piece about this very topic yesterday. i'll post a link to it when we actually publish it. the writer in question -- the great john morthland -- suggests a lot of pre-blues stuff that's really fantastic. he also quotes this lucille bogan lyric: "I got nipples on my titties as big as your thumb/ I got something between my legs make a dead man come."
