Day #65 – Love And Luck
Of course, Jimmy spent time in his early career in New Orleans, and the eclectic culture of that unique city leaves an imprint. In my original post, I touched briefly on the term gris gris, which is included in Love And Luck’s song lyrics. It is usually tied to voodoo, hoodoo or root magic and it seems to have originated with west African culture that migrated to the Caribbean and gulf coast areas, and then was adapted into the greater culture. In this sense, it means a talisman, an amulet, a charm, a spell, or an incantation believed capable of warding off evil and bringing good luck to oneself or of bringing misfortune to another. Mostly, it’s seen as a good luck charm!
