- Davey Graham (more bluesy than american primitive but would still be of interest)
- Bob Brozman (who played in many different styles but I think you'd dig if you like any of the above artists; a true slide guitar king)
- Mori Chieko (see above; related but not totally like the other artists)
Also, a lot of the work of Sonny Landreth and Ry Cooder and Captain Beefheart's magic band (see some of the instrumentals specifically) and Sun City Girls incorporate elements of American primitive guitar.
That list should get anyone who wants to get into this stuff in order.
The best genre of music ever.
