musicians stepping out of their usual genre

Country artist Sugarland along with Sara Bareilles (pop I think) doing ummm, folk/folk rock (whatever you'd classify Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners)

Lordy, that’s awful, right up there with William Shatner doing Lucy in the Sky. This is my favorite version of Enter Sandman:

In the early 90s Pat Benatar recorded an album titled 'True Love' with some backing by the horn section from Roomful Of Blues.
Some covers of blues classics and some originals co-written by her husband, Neil Giraldo.
Nice departure from her hard rock genre.
Bloodshot Eyes live.

I'm not a fan of the song in any variation, but yes BB, that was bad, really bad. Ol Pat must have had a mid life crisis.

This just popped up, seems like quite a departure to me. The Cowboy Junkies going trip hop. I've heard it numerous times, I still think it's something like Massive Attack or Morcheeba every time I hear it.
