“The record you didn’t know you needed is what I am listening to in the other room.”

Faded concert posters line the dark walls. Wisps of incense smoke curl through the golden light. The mood is intimate, analog, and deeply atmospheric with rich sepia and brown tones against near-black shadows. | photorealistic | landscape

1001 Albums Day 88 – Talking Book

/

Stevie Wonder at the keyboards during the recording of Talking Book

A couple of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs here make this an essential part of his phenomenal run of releases he put out from 72 – 76. I usually listen to the next couple if I put on one of his albums so I am not as familiar with this one though.

I like it and it sets the stage for what is to follow, not only by him but you can hear the influence of this all over artists who drew inspiration from him.

There are a couple of things that drag a bit and sometimes it gets a bit repetitive but those are minor quibbles. A great talent is on the verge of creating perfection here, it’s just not quite there yet.

Although this song is indeed absolutely perfect!
