I'd say there was a rough style of "art blues" song before _Songbag_ came out that I associate with names like Hoagy Carmichael, Spencer Williams (sometimes among his massive output), W.C. Handy, Willard Robison.
This was recorded about a couple weeks before _Songbag_ came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3SzDoCt7ic
This is earlier and is Robison singing a Handy song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhWNbcu6jug
