gutbucket noun [ ˈɡʌtbʌkɪt ]

• (of jazz or blues) raw and spirited in style.
• "his gutbucket guitar solos"
Origin: early 20th century: perhaps from the earlier denotation of a one-stringed plucked instrument, with reference to its construction, or referring to the bucket that caught gutterings (streams of liquid) from beer barrels in low-class saloons where such music was played.
