I've discovered "outlaw country" and like lots of it. Im also listening to jj Cale and Ry Cooder. And bluegrass.
I am very surprised at myself, having always had very narrow tastes
My favourite album of 2022 was Ginger Wildheart and the sinners

I sort of began to 'mellow out' in the 80's. I went from Judas Priest and Krokus to Ry Cooder, J J Cale and Tears For Fears just like you! In the blink of an invention called the CD  Getting old is no fun but, I have to say, it doesn't half broaden your musical tastes. And I have no idea why  |

Worse than that - I'm increasingly appreciating more prog than I used to!

After Quo had mellowed out in the early 80s, I became more of a metalhead, albeit the melody remained very important. (Never went for Slayer or Megadeth for instance.) At uni there were the neo-hippy parties, which gave me The Doors, Neil Young, the entire Woodstock line-up, so I expanded my horizon. A decade later folkmusic became highly popular in Belgium with some top bands, so I got into that as well. Classical concerts followed, although I never listen to them at home. But my main love will always be blues rock. It was Rory who started it so many years ago, and I might well leave this earth in 50 years with his music accompanying me. Mellowing out? Not for me.

I guess its more a sort of expansion than a mellowing. I certainly listen to a greater variety than I used to. I tend to appreciate music now that I used to think was a bit naff. I think I just hear it now as opposed to paying no attention because it didn't sound like my 'style' |

Can't imagine not having rock in the car, but it feels good to finally appreciate that there are other genres that are also very enjoyable |
