Innervisions - Stevie Wonder
Funky, Jazzy, Edgy and Right On, Stevie Wonder himself claims this one as his best. Released in 1973 when he was just 23 years old it garnered immediate critical acclaim. All 9 tracks are flow seamlessly together and cover everything from Religion to Drugs to Politics, Hey Misstra Know It All is directed directly at Tricky Dicky Nixon, while Higher Ground reveals Wonders spiritual side and Too High is a cautionary tale of substance abuse. Don't You Worry About A Thing and Higher Ground are favourites on the Live Drive, this is an opportunity to hear a little more from the Album.Track listing

And the upward curve continues Sarah....great album!! And if you could, would you play Jesus Children of America. Thanks
Will Do!
One of my all-time favourite albums...I still have the L.P. (yes, ELL-PEE!) in pristine condition, no scratches on the vinyl, no dog-ears on the cover. I went to see Stevie Wonder when he was in Dublin, sometime in the early 80's, but it was a big disappointment...what I remember most about the gig were the girls dressed in the colours of a packet of "Major" cigarettes (maroon and white) who were employed to pass around free cigarettes to anyone in the audience to encourage them to take up the smoking habit. Seems crazy now, of course!
