“Freak folk” (wtf does that mean anyway? Folk done by kids with tattoos I guess, or folk not done by Joan Baez…?). Good simple rootsy acoustic music, male vocals, good lyrics and delivery. Guitar anchored, blues and gospel influenced. White Stripes could take some pointers from these guys.

1) upbeat twisted12 bar’ish
2) simple minor toned song. Guit+vocs
3) arpeggio picking and a lusher, complex chord progression and melodies, good stuff
4) upbeat, almost rockin feel, white stripes on MTV unplugged
5) slow, minor almost bluesy but pretty and hopeful, whistling leads
6) starts with a solo chet atkins styled mountain guit picking then launches into an upbeat tale
7) slow bluesy swing, hillbilly feel
8) swaying blues for sure with a plethora of 7th chords
9) upbeat gospel fun, cool fuzzy electric guitar embellishments, leads
