Question: What music genre that Peavey Bandit 112 is designed for has been called "one of America's original art forms"?

Golden Throats is Rhino Records' series of humorous compilations of critically lambasted cover versions of songs, performed mostly either by celebrities known for something other than musical talent or musicians not known for the genre from which the song they are covering comes.  For example, William Shatner sings (or, more precisely, does a dramatic reading of the lyrics to) "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," Leonard Nimoy sings "If I Had a Hammer," and Muhammad Ali sings "Stand by Me."  Other examples include the Bing Crosby cover of the Beatles' "Hey Jude" and the Mel Tormé cover of Donovan's "Sunshine Superman," as both were rock songs being covered by musicians of an older generation.  In most cases, the songs appear to be performed sincerely, rather than in a spirit of irony or intentional goofiness.  In many respects, these albums were among the first to anthologize lounge music, with their focus on "light" versions of contemporary hits.  The series (of four albums) was created and produced by long-time Rhino staffer Gary Peterson and pop culture historian Pat Sierchio.  Each release contained liner notes penned by acclaimed music historian Irwin Chusid, and most featured original art by Drew Friedman.  The cover art parodied well-known albums ("Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Their Satanic Majesties Request", "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo", and the Beatles' infamous "butcher" cover for "Yesterday And Today").  The notoriety of the series no doubt contributed to William Shatner's decision to relaunch his musical career. <SEP>  It is a solid state amplifier designed for Jazz, Blues, Rock and Heavy metal musicians.

It then emerged in the form of independent traditional and popular musical styles, all linked by the common bonds of African American and European American musical parentage with a performance orientation. Jazz is a music genre that originated in African American communities of New Orleans, United States, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and developed from roots in blues and ragtime.  Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation.  Jazz has roots in West African cultural and musical expression, and in African-American music traditions including blues and ragtime, as well as European military band music.  Although the foundation of jazz is deeply rooted within the black experience of the United States, different cultures have contributed their own experience and styles to the art form as well.  Intellectuals around the world have hailed jazz as "one of America's original art forms". <SEP> Traditional Chinese opera (), or Xiqu, is a popular form of drama and musical theatre in China with roots going back to the early periods in China.  It is a composite performance art that is an amalgamation of various art forms that existed in ancient China, and evolved gradually over more than a thousand years, reaching its mature form in the 13th century during the Song Dynasty.  Early forms of Chinese theater are simple, but over time they incorporated various art forms, such as music, song and dance, martial arts, acrobatics, as well as literary art forms to become traditional Chinese opera.
