I really like his "Louisiana Party", "Cain", "Starr", "Kiss". Do they sound like a sub-category of Blues? Can somebody suggest some similar songs (from him or other artists)?

Don't be confused by the 'Similar Artists', CTK is not a Bluegrass artist but a top class Blues singer and guitar player who just happens to have played a blues track on the Oh Brother soundtrack (which was mostly Bluegrass music with a bit a Spirtual and Blues thrown in)

his version of hard time killing floor blues is better than skip james's, i think, if only because the quality of the recording is actually good, hah
