Darius Rucker went from Hootie and the Blowfish to singing country music. Taylor Swift went from country to pop. Who was the greatest musician to change genres in their careers? And is there someone who peformed multiple genres like Elvis did?
What was the most dramatic switch ever? And remember who wrote "The Pusher" that was a hit by Steppenwolf? Hoyt Axton.

Garth Brooks did a stint as an alternative rock artist. He was Chris Gaines from Australia. I think he is maybe gonna star on SNL as Chris Gaines. I haven't ever heard his music as Chris Gaines. Of course Kenny Rodgers was a long haired rocker with an earring for awhile and later went country. He did good on the country side and won a few awards. Hank lll mixes it up from full blown country to metal country.

We all remember Hootie before he became Darius Rucker.

Steven Tyler - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee announced the other day that he is hitting the road with Nashville's Loving Mary Band. He put out a "country" song the other year. It was bad. Brett Micheals did the same. They really should just stick to rock.

Talk about bad how about Rod Stewart singing jazz standards Yeah, pretty sad indeed! I would love to see him do another blues album with Jeff Beck, he has a great voice for that type of material. But, not too likely.

Just as song crossover..the Rollings Stones little tune 'The Girl with Faraway Eyes'. It has hillbilly overtones and pedal steel in it. Eagles crops the country boundary in several of there hits. In fact their rock music from the seventies is today's country. Remember the song' Don't Bogart that Joint"? It reminded me of Buck Owens. I don't recollect who sang it. Our old friend and rocker Tom Petty had country in his blood. He did the old Hank Williams song"Lost Highway".
Of course the song which was brought up on another thread"Down to Seeds and Stems". Another rocker country tune. When you think about fast picking which jams down more metal rock or blue grass?

Really digging some of the choices that have been listed here! So many good ones, and when you see artists shifting genres gradually you don't always recognize the change right away.
Cheers,
Ember

David Bowie comes to mind for me. He went from making rock classics, to releasing electronica albums in the 90's.

Darius Rucker went from Hootie and the Blowfish to singing country music. I'm not sure he ever did that. His singing is NO different. The music isn't much different either. I would say it was more that country changed than him. Even "Wagonwheel" felt much more H&BF. I'm not sure THIS qaulifies for what you were speaking of, but it's definitely out of this performers element. Only comment on your reaction. Don't say who it is or what they did. Leave the surprise for others. But honestly, did you see THIS coming? You Can't Un-Hear It

The Mavericks used to genre switch a lot..
They would soft rock it with "The Air That I Breathe" (cover of the Hollies) ...Country down with songs like "There Goes My Heart"..or Raul's killer vocals with their cover of "Blue Moon"
To the Spanish side with "Ven Hacia Mi" and Volver Volver.
Rodger Creager Does it to going from Texas country songs like "Things Look Good Around Here" and "Having Fun All Wrong", to Tejano songs like "Celito Lindo" and "Rancho Grande.

Paul McCartney recorded Jr's Farm in Nashville - Sally G had a country flavor about it.

Many bands did the acoustical unplugged thing...I even heard of a Twisted Willie CD that came out but I have never listened to it.
Did AC/DC ever do an unplugged gig? The slowest song I ever heard by them was "Ride On"...Even Jakyl has a country type song called the "Secret of the Bottle" With some country pedal steel in it.

Kenny Rogers started out as a jazz bass player.
Then a Rock Star with his band The First Edition.
And followed that act as a Country Music star.
---
The Pointer Sister's first album was vocal jazz, then they discovered pop and made a fortune.
---
To many musicians, the lines between genres are blurred.
