When was the last time you discovered a new music genre?

I remember my first encounters with rap (2Pac "California Love"), metal (Metallica "Ride the lightning"), or techno (Darude "Sandstorm").

But it's been a while since I discovered an entirely new genre.

true confession... in the past 3-4 years, I've gone from "I like everything but country" to actually liking country. Most of what I like is from 1930s to 1970s. Although I can say I "discovered" my favorite two subgenres, singing cowboy era and western swing, since I didn't really know they existed before.

my youngest son recently graduated college in Nashville, so when we'd visit we'd go to the Grand Ole Opry and that helped get me more into it. That and listening to Willie's Roadhouse on SiriusXM. About the only contemporary artist I've heard that I've liked is Niko Moon. Oldest son in big into into Zach Bryan though

+1 I never thought I'd be a fan of country but one sunny morning Chris Stapleton strummed my veins like guitar strings

For western swing (IMO pretty accessible for modern ears), start with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys... "San Antonio Rose", "Right or Wrong", "Deep Water", "Stay a Little Longer" are good choices. For singing cowboys (IMO an acquired taste), Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Marty Robbins (El Paso) (1)

Any particular songs you'd recommend? I like country!
