Is my music authentic and what does that even really mean?
What makes a piece of music 'authentic'? What does that even mean? Why is authenticity in music important to the listener? How does this issue affect the actions and decisions of record labels?
In this episode, music producer Luke Jones delves into a bit of amateur psychoanalysis, in an attempt to understand why certain songs appeal to certain people. What is it about a song or the recording of a song that makes us feel comfortable saying out loud "I like this!". He also looks at a classic 1967 Jazz funk recording, and asks himself why on earth would Ryan Adams re-record an entire Taylor Swift album?
