Sort of with me, but I'm not part of any group doing so.
Never listened to much Bob Dylan until my GF and I got tickets for his show a few months back. Got some of his early stuff and instantly recognized it as music I grew up hearing often in Texas, driving around with my dad, or in the garage, or in a country western type of place.
Then started listening to a bit more Johnny Cash, then Willie Nelson, who I didn't "get into" because I've always loved the guy's music. You cannot avoid Willie Nelson in Texas. Just never owned any of his albums or anything.
Now with Neil Young, my Dad has always really liked him more than most, and I recognize so many of these songs as well.
It's refreshing. As a songwriter I think it's refreshing for me to hear this stuff. I do my band music that's big and bombastic and loud, but I do solo acoustic stuff as well, been doing that longer as well. So much purity in getting influence from these guys that have been around for so long, especially as I've heard it all my life.
