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.

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

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)

... and two more things... Ray Charles (Modern Sounds in Country Western Music Vol 1, not a fan of Vol 2) and also a Patsy Cline greatest hits will do you good too.

(cont'd) plus I enjoy yodeling cowgirls (Carolina Cotton, Rosalie Allen, Patsy Montana). I mostly like upbeat music, but IMO Don Williams (Some Broken Hearts Never Mend, I Believe in You) is the best for mellow moods... terrific soothing voice. Past those... Hank Williams (Sr) and Bill Monroe (bluegrass!)
