I guess that Paul Sectacular hasn't made it up to Mose's "Middle Class 
White Boy" LP just yet.

Yeah, as he took pains to point out that he's listening to Sonny Boy 
Williamson (1), when Sonny Boy Williamson (2) is a much more direct 
influence on Mose. The first Sonny Boy died in 1948 and was really more 
of a traditional Delta-style player. It was number two who took that 
mess up Chicago-way.

I'm sure that Ray Charles wasn't really influenced by Hank Williams & 
Buck Owens. Yeah, sure. Just like he wasn't influenced by Guitar Slim & 
Louis Jordan.
