I was astonished when I actually listened to it for the first time. "wait, this is it?"

But the tunes the Deltas wrote, recorded or simply transmitted, did form he basis for the great blues revival starting in the late ‘50s with urban electric blues and then rock.

The later musicians just cribbed lyrics and themes. The music itself isn't remotely comparable.
