The Ghost Hounds were influenced by  Robert Johnson. https://americansongwriter.com/ghost-hounds-bind-the-blues-into-their-rock-n-roll-reverence-on-sophomore-lp-a-little-calamity/

This second step for Ghost Hounds—following their 2019 debut, Roses Are Black—solidifies the rock n’ roll sound we crave, but so rarely hear in the world of modern music. It’s electric guitar-led, worn-down drum kit-driven rock music, with an intentional tinge of the Blues. Tull traces this lineage through the tradition of the Blues, carefully studying the works of aficionados like Robert Johnson.

Born in small-town Missippi, Johnson’s music career yielded the vast spreading of the Delta Blues influence. His landmark recordings date back to 1936 and 1937—the last two years of his life—having endured well beyond his short life. The mystique of Johnson’s not well-documented life and prolific work gave rise to the most famed legend about the forefather. Considering his talent, the only logical explanation became that he sold his soul to the devil to achieve such musical success.
