Brother Beck liked Craig Manning's post in the thread Genre The Official Country Music Thread.
As promised, this week’s My Life In 35 Songs delves into my issues with the country music fandom, and around the type of “guy” that this Saving Country Music dude epitomizes. Also includes a gross excerpt from one of his shitty reviews. My Life In 35 Songs, Track 28: “Dibs” by Kelsea Ballerini My journey with this genre was really strange, in that I had just this explosion of discovery back in 2015 and then went all in on country music for half a decade, basically to the exclusion of everything else. And then Trumpism and the pandemic came along and the spell almost completely broke for me. This week’s essay is about that whole weird journey, as much as it is about any one song or artist. Kelsea, as someone who ostensibly left country music behind, felt like a fitting prism through which to tell that story.

“It was the last time I felt the spark of youthful discovery that had characterized my first steps into music obsession, and sometimes, I wonder if I’ll feel anything quite like that ever again. I hope so.” I know this feeling. I’m almost 36 now and I am once again feeling that spark with Jazz, after not having felt it in a long time either.

Sadly it was anxiety, haha. Jazz is better for it than any other music.

That's great. What got you to go down the rabbit hole with jazz?
