It's clearly classical music. 

I was Beethoven's intern some time ago so my opinion is a fact.

I agree with the sentiment, but I'd just call it Americana. 

"contemporary music that incorporates elements of various American roots music styles, including country, roots-rock, folk, bluegrass, R&B and blues, resulting in a distinctive roots-oriented sound that lives in a world apart from the pure forms of the genres upon which it may draw. While acoustic instruments are often present and vital, Americana also often uses a full electric band.

Art pop is a loosely-defined style of pop music[1] which reflects an affinity with practices in areas of non-musical art, such as pop art, cinema, avant-garde literature, fine art, art school studies, and fashion.[3][5] Artists draw on the collapsed boundary between high and low culture[6] while moving away from the conventions of rock music and traditional pop audiences.[7] Central to some purveyors of the style are explorations of pop as commercial art or notions of artifice, style, or irony.[8]

Thank you, that's what I was thinking the first time we heard songs from Joanne, a genre Bob Dylan contributed to create in the 1990's btw.

That is the perfect description! :worship2:

I just finished listening and it reminds me sooooo much (at times) of one of my favorite albums by Sheryl Crow, 'The Globe Sessions'... fantastic album with a similar vibe!

Exactly! Sheryl Crow's 'The Globe Sessions' included a Dylan original (she was the first to record it, before he released his own recording 2 years later):

I LOVE Americana and I would absolutely agree that the album is leaning to an Americana-pop feel more than anything else.

People just see a cowboy hat and rush to label it as country already :toofunny:
