With a working life of more than 53 years on the German cabaret stage and 70 of his own programmes he was one of the most productive and successful representatives of literary cabaret in Germany in the 20th century.
From 1965 on, Hüsch released phonograph records with literary cabaret pieces, chansons and poems - he sold more than 50 albums until his death. In 1967 he joined the left-wing German student movement and performed in Berlin on Burg Waldeck. But some elements of the student movement did not like Hüsch's non-violent attitude. They heckled his performances from June 1968 until August 1969 and "it was just as if your comrades told you that you are not good enough for the fight and that you have to give it up", said Hüsch. He was disappointed and hurt by their actions against his art, decided not to perform in Germany for years, and moved to Switzerland.
The linernotes say that "Typisch Hüsch" is an album with "political songs and poems". The album was recorded in Zürich and Frankfurt in May and July 1970. Hans Dieter Hüsch was accompanied by Dieter Süverkrüp, Volker Kriegel and others.

Thanks again for that gem of german literary cabaret! Very interesting the collaboration with Dieter Süverkrüp, who is/was kind of left wing hardliner and member of DKP.From this part of the movement arose the harsh criticismm you are referring to. Neverthelesse both together had to do with the beginning of "pläne".
But the disc is far away from being a bare historic document, it's an actual commentary to our recent situation.
Thanks for your feedback and the background information. I totally agree: it is an actual commentary! Best wishes!
