Lonesome as possible but people have said I sound like:
Captain Beefheart, Charlie Patton, Howlin' Wolf, Tuvan Throatsingers, Tom Waits
I did the soundtrack for this video by the luminary San Francisco Filmmaker, Nara Denning:
NEUROTIQUE No.2
Every Thursday Night at Baby Blues BBQ
(3149 Mission St, San Francisco) playing Delta Blues with Ricky Wayne Garrett.
"This is the music God hears in his sleep when He has a high fever..." -- Spider Robinson, co-author with Robert A. Heinlein of VARIABLE STAR
“What floors us is the voice, like no other…
A voice that takes to the highway and steals our hearts.” -- Dona Carlotta , Aux Arts Etc., Zurich
"Seth Augustus, Throaty bluesman, between Mongolia and Charley Patton." -- Thierry Porée (Radio Libertaire, Paris)

..
Seth Augustus’ original and haunting songs are folkloric fever dreams sung, sputtered and hollered to music that is soulful, gritty, & foot-stomping. His powerful, throaty voice often draws comparisons to old time Delta songsters.
Here is a new, authentic sound assembled from elements of early American music, 1920’s/30’s Blues, pre-Rock'n'Roll, along with music from faraway places such as Mali, Tuva, and Eastern Europe.
