Yeah, that's right. I've never thought it would be like that, since each of these guy's blues sound a bit different. But on this amazing blog I recently discovered, we see a Son House early recording called Mississippi Country Farm Blues, very similar to Lemon Jefferson's See That My Grave is Kept Clean. See for yourself: http://prewarblues.org/files/country_farm_blues.mp3

This is a great find pedrorm2000 and a big thanks your way for sharing it here. I know that Blind Lemon Jefferson had a direct influence on a young Lightnin Sam Hopkins and T-Bone Walker,along with Jefferson being friends with Huddie Ledbetter.But never knew of Jefferson's influence on Son House,with this mp3 providing some direct recorded evidence of this influence

This just adds to the importance of Lemon Jefferson in the whole blues scenario. I'm reading this great book The Land Where The Blues Began, by Alan Lomax, and there's a part a related discovery is made. From the book: (Son House being interviewed) "How it come about that he [Robert Johnson] played Lemon's style is this -- Little Robert learnt from me, and I learnt from an old fellow they call Lemon down in Clarksdale, and he was called Lemon because he had learnt all Blind Lemon's pieces off the phonograph." Now I felt like shouting. Son House had laid out one of the main lines in the royal lineage of America's great guitar players -- Blind Lemon of Dallas to his double in Clarksdale to Son House to Robert Johnson.

I actually just recently read the origin of that song. Art Laibly of Paramount Records had asked House, Charlie Patton, and Willie Brown to write a song to the beat of See That My Grave is Kept Clean. House wrote it in his hotel room and played it for Patton. House talks about it here: http://paramountshome.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=112:son-house-interview-1965-&catid=47:new-york-recording-laboratoriesoral-histories&Itemid=54 Dan Beaumont talks about it somewhere around the middle: http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/wxxi/local-wxxi-841661.mp3
