Delta blues-ish grunge banjo, more like Bukka White covering a Minutemen song than Scruggs-ish bluegrass. Although I dug the blues of Willie Dixon and Howlin Wolf to which Led Zeppelin's liner notes brought me, searching for the roots of a Gun Club cover song brought me to the earlier solo artists like Johnny Shines and Fred McDowell, which really ignited something in me. It was the Gun Club that made me realize that I could be a musician, though I got a really late start. These are all authentic Americana songs about life in wild and rural places. Alaska Birchpunk Music, you could call it.
