Simple acoustic blues. One person emoting through their guitar and singing, or not. Maybe speaking/narrating the story.

That's definitely the wrong question to ask a record collector. My taste in music is very wide ranging (maybe you could tell from my posts...LOl). As it so happens, I have an older brother & sister (10 & 9 years my seniors respectively) and when they went off to college guess who stole their record collections? So, I started with my brother's records. At the time he was a huge Elvis fan as well as the music of the early 1970's. My sister fixed me up with Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot and others of that ilk. Once my mother saw my interest in music wasn't just a passing thing, she gave me her records. Were talking about all that great 1940's & 1950's music. Everything from Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Nat 'King" Cole Trio to Phil Phillips And The Twilights, The Platters, Bill Haley And The Comets, Chuck Berry plus Real Country, That is the kind played on wooden instruments, and so much more. I had a pretty good leg up on my friends by this point. Once I realized that people would sell me their records at yard sales for (at that Time) one thin dime per, I was locked into a lifelong obsession that shows no signs of abating any time soon.
From that fertile beginning, I cast as wide a net as I could. I bought up every record I could get my hands on. From there one thing led to another. If I heard some great drum fills on a record I sought out that Drummer. If there was an amazing Trumpet solo, I was on it. Likewise Bass lines, Blues Harps, Vocalists, Guitars, and Pianos/Organs/Keyboards and so on. Eventually, I wound up listening to everything and so I do today. I've been married now for 26 years and my lovely, long-suffering wife can attest the many vagaries of music I put her through.
Something like this band:
[guitar] [fiddle] [drumkit] [accordion] [piano] [tuba] [triangle] [clapping]
