folk and old-timey music from the '20s and '30s.

La? Neu! for me. I guess I assumed Rother dropped off in the 90s? WRONG

Almost forgot - this was also the year I got into Workingman's Dead and American Beauty by the Grateful Dead.

This is the year that Charalambides clicked in a big way for me, thanks in large part to their excellent new album EXILE (which is easily in the top five albums released this year for me).

xp: next year you should check out Jerry Garcia's Garcia and Bob Weir's Ace. They are of the same ilk.

Don't sleep on Mickey Hart's Rolling Thunder, also released in '72. I just discovered that one this year and it is also pretty excellent. John Cipollina plays guitar on it. May as well rep for Europe 72. as well, a record that sounds better to me now than ever before.

Thanks for the recs. I will investigate.

Reassessed and moved from ambivalence to full-fledged love:
Scott Walker (via the "Five Easy Pieces" box)Kevin Ayers (via the "Songs For Insane Times" box)Pere Ubu (via the first two discs of the "Datapanik In The Year Zero" box)Brian Eno's ambient work (via the "Instrumental" box)Nuggets I and II boxes (and 60s UK psych as well)
It's been an awesome box set year!
Incidentally, I'm always amazed how one's tastes can change over time. It makes me think that eventually I'll dig everything.
