Blues singers/guitar players that are just guitar and vocals?

I'm thinking about starting up a project thats just me and my guitar playing some blues. I'm looking for any singers that do this sort of thing for some inspiration and ideas.

    Hmm.. seasick steve maybe, if you want current musicians.

    Other than the early Blues, most Blues music has at least a drum or harmonica in the song with the guitar. I cant really think of Just a guitar and vocal Blues song. Are you sure you dont mean Folk?

    Robert Johnson is the only Blues one I can think of now.
