Tunesmith has said it. It was Hedi West that inspired me to get into frailing banjo. I do quite a few with the banjo only now, including 'Boots of Spanish Leather'. I like the sparse sound it gives - very atmospheric. Try Eric Bogle's "Now I'm Easy" with the banjo. That works. Any number of Appalachian ballads sound great on the banjo - House Carpenter, Wife of Usher's Well, Lady Margaret and Sweet William, Bangum, etc.
