I can give you a bit of suggestions concerning apalachian/folk/bluegrass. My momma was a Bluegrass Musician.
Bill Monroe is fuckin bad ass...mandolin..fiddle..guitar...classic bluegrass
Kate Wolf did alot of great shit..that was my momma's idol
Woody Gunthrey, and Led Belly influenced pretty much everyone that has ever existed. I dunno guess they're early blues/folkish.
Steve Earl isn't really early, but he makes some of the best shit I've heard in a while. I feel ignorant trying to classify him cause he displays so many influences, but I would put money down that he learned alot from the early style.
