Nicknamed Slim by frontman Paul Westerberg to avoid confusion, Dunlap played guitar on the Replacements' final albums, enhancing their rootsy sound with his bluesy style.
Westerberg envisioned a bluesier direction for the band, seeking someone familiar with country music—qualities Dunlap embodied, enriching songs like 'Achin' to Be'.
Dunlap expressed his versatility, saying, 'I played in every little band I could play in... one night you'd see me play bluegrass... the next night it would be hard rock.'
Born in 1951, Dunlap moved to Minneapolis to pursue music and worked various jobs while building a reputation as a versatile musician.
