Description
The album “My Name is Doug Hream Blunt” is a true explosion of colors and sound textures. The songs are joyful, exuberant and full of life. The opening of the album with the track “Gentle Persuasion” sets the tone with its funky rhythms and catchy melodies. From the first notes, we are transported into the offbeat and captivating world of Doug Hream Blunt.
Doug Hream Blunt is a fascinating and enigmatic character. Little is known about his life before he became a musician at age 35 after taking lessons with a high school music teacher in his garage.
But what is certain is that his approach to music is totally unique. His style is an eclectic mix of funk, soul, rock and pop, with touches of jazz > and electronic music. But what makes his music so special is its spontaneity and sincerity.
Doug Hream Blunt did not initially intend to pursue a career in music or make a living from his music. When he recorded his self-titled album, “My Name is Doug Hream Blunt,” he had no plans to become a professional artist. His goal was rather modest: he simply wanted to place a few copies of his album in the bins of record stores in his neighborhood in San Francisco.
This humble and selfless attitude towards his music shows how Blunt was driven above all by his passion for creating music and the simple desire to share his art with others. However, thanks to the perseverance and recognition of some key people, notably the Luaka Bop label of David Byrne, former member of Talking Heads, his album attracted attention beyond his neighborhood and eventually achieved international success.
The story of Doug Hream Blunt is a powerful reminder of music’s ability to transcend boundaries and unite people, no matter their background or background.
