Day 27: The Resistance
Play a genre you resisted to, but ended up appreciating.
Jimmy Smith - Root Down: Jimmy Smith Live!
I didn’t have patience for a lot of music until I hit my early 30s. Jazz in particular was completely lost on me. My gateway came in the form of Jazz-Funk and Jazz-Fusion thanks to Hip-Hop samples. This one is an obvious one from The Beastie Boys cut that shares it’s name.

Gonna have to give this a listen. My Dad and I spent a lot of time laughing at Moose Turd Pie when it was played on Dr. Demento over the years, and while i knew there was a lot more to Utah Phillips than that, I never searched it out.

Day 29: Endor Serenity
Folk music day!
Will Oldham - Joya
I don’t know… like it’s folk music at it’s heart but it also a bit of lo-fi indie rock mixed in for good measure.

Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band "Dancing On The Edge" (2023 Sophomore Lounge)
How about a genre I resisted, but never ended up appreciating? This would be it. But apparently this classifies according to Discogs, so who knows? Feels more like alt-country or americana, like Wilco, to me. But if it's folk, maybe there's a chance...

I recommend The Past Didn't Go Anywhere with Ani Difranco. It's near the top of my "this needs a vinyl pressing" list. She took a bunch of his recordings and set them to music. The guy was something very special. I was on tour with a musician friend of mine when Utah passed. It was a very sad day for both of us, but holy heck did he have a life well lived.
[Edit to add:] The coolest part of this album is that it was all recorded in places I have lived here in BC!

I completely forgot that I had today’s generator album, so playing it for the challenge gives me an excuse to listen again. (Man this thing is in rough shape).
Joni Mitchell - Hejira

NF - Perception
I'm in my fifties so while he's not necessarily a teenager, he could be my son. That qualifies, no?
