S4E179 - Stevie Wonder 'Innervisions' with Steve Dawson

You might not draw a straight line between Chicago singer/songwriter Steve Dawson's (Dolly Varden)music and Stevie Wonder, but when he first heard Wonder's 1973 record "Innervisions" as a teen living in Idaho it seriously freaked him out. But in a good way. This is the sound of musical prodigy 'Little Stevie Wonder' growing up and tackling real-life themes such as drug abuse, inequality and systemic racism, expanding the boundaries of what popular music could be. Higher Ground indeed! Spotify episode playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2mFb9QKQCTEP3OUvITQxzy?si=b648e72d19994898
