Rock performers that play/record a different genre

Enjoyed listening to Willie and the Poor Boys last night - Bill Wyman and a group of musicians play 50’s style music. Thinking about this I guess the same could be said for Jeff Beck’s Rock and Roll Party with Imelda May, and maybe Bruce Springsteen’s Seeger Sessions (going way back to old folk music). What other artist/s have done similar alternate genre work that you enjoy?

@larsman I had no idea uncle Al had a country bad.  But it doesn't surprise me one bit.

Peter Murphy's solo work is, for the most part, poppy, and so different than his work than when he's with Bauhaus.  Love 'em both.

@shtinkydog - yes indeed - Al's always been a big country music fan - in fact, I went to one Ministry show and the music on the PA between acts was Hank Williams at ear-bleeding volume!!

I'm no fan of country music at all, but I've got plenty of time for Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters - it's still Al, and recommended for any Ministry fan!

@larsman i had a bunch of Ministry CDs a long time ago. I've always thought "jesus built my hotrod" had a country feel to it.   That crazy Al.

I've always liked Neil Young with the Shocking Pinks doing rockabilly.

I also think Maynard James Keenan's work as Puscifer is more interesting than Tool.
