Description

Jordan and Alex spend most of their lives living in a podcast paradise this week going deep on Stevie Wonder's magnum opus ‘Songs in the Key of Life’! They'll explore the chaos that was Stevie's work process at the time, including 3:30 a.m. call times for bassists and guitarists sleeping in the studio, scour the insane guest roster of the sessions for hidden gems (Alice Coltrane? Frank Zappa?) and run down the hallmarks of Stevie's keyboard sound. Along the way they'll marvel at the scope of Stevie's record-breaking contract with Motown, the still-unheard songs from the era he's got in the vault, and run down the expenditures for the premiere party for the album. (How much does a bespoke cowboy outfit cost, anyway?) Too Much Information: Pod's in Need of Pod Today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
