Certainly, several mississippi blues men moved to the North to perform in cities like Chicago or Detroit when they realized that they could get paid without working 15 hours every in the fields. The early acoustic songs by Muddy Waters (Walkin' Blues) is testimony to this authentic delta style. Incidentally, Waters said that his version of Walkin pre-dated that of Robert Johnson. The delta blues sound could be described as quite simple, often basic and deeply emotional. The slide style of playing guitar was ideal for this region. The conditions were often hot and humid, which easily disturbed a wooden instrument's tuning. Bottleneck songs performed in open tuning were easier to keep in tune, and additionally it was easy to adjust for tuning errors by moving the slide around. Songs from mississippi delta picked in standard tuning were more often in the Keys of E and A, and employed a monotonic bass pattern. The picking technique might be often basic but powerful. Artists to research are Robert Johnson, Son House, Muddy Waters and Fred McDowell.
