any, you can't go wrong.
These are some

He works hard at being traditional, also has a DVD I liked where he travels around Mississippi interviewing some of the surviving early greats, and relatives of deceased early greats, & seeks places mentioned in Robert Johnson's songs. Maybe your local library has it (as mine does).

ISBN 0738900796, The search for Robert Johnson [videorecording (DVD)] / Sony Music Entertainment ; producer, Jerry Rappoport and DeAngela Napier ; directed and produced by Chris Hunt.

No. Trout's more of an electrified rocker.

Hammond's much closer to Dockery Farm. Actually I don't like his voice AT ALL but do like his passion.
