Innervisions - Stevie Wonder

1973 Stevie Wonder aged just 23 released his 18th album, Innervisions. Considered part of Wonders classic period Innervisions is a tour de force of everything the Stevie Wonder does best.

The album is crafted with all of Wonders talents. He comments on many of the social issues topical in the early seventies, drugs, politics ethics and life in an American city and still manages to make us dance.

On Living For The City, we are taken on a journey as we follow a young man from Mississippi to a city and all the perils that wait for him there. Too High is a cautionary tale on drug use. Higher Ground, Jesus Child Of America are unusual takes on Eastern Religious philosophy as heard through Wonders easy gift for funk and pop. Stevie Wonder even has a go at Richard Milhous Nixon on He's Mistra Know It All.

Who knew that the same man would go on to write I Just Called... Sigh...
