Blind Lemon Jefferson was the first true "bluesman". This version of "Match Box Blues" has been covered by fellow bluesman Leadbelly and also The Beatles. Jefferson's playing on this recording is some of the first recorded blues music using the twelve bar progression (although it does not have a completely "structured" sound).
