Hoodooman Blues is an album by Buddy Guy and Junior Wells and this was the eye opener for me in the 70s. You see, this was so good to hear that it was put directly on the record in the here and now without studio tricks or over dubbing. And that’s what real music could be too. Genuineness and immediacy. Nothing to the detriment of music that is overthought and overdubbed and arranged, that remains but to me the immediacy of the moment really appeals. Like a Zen master smashing a calligraphy on the canvas in one motion. But another truth is. You can’t expect authentic intimate music to be brought to a large audience. People go out to laugh, drink and dance. We give them a piece of freedom that they lack in their work. Every musician would rather have a full house of nice people than a few critics with a notebook to write on. And you have to find the magic yourself, a DJ can’t help with that, he wants to become famous himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8625","bluesvdmaand","type-bluesvdmaand","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
