Editorial Review:
The first CD pressing of Wonder's 1973 release was made in Japan on the Tamla label (catalog number TCD06152TD) in 1985 and features the following tracks: 1. Too High (4:47)
2. Visions (5:24)
3. Living For The City (7:25)
4. Golden Lady (4:47)
5. Higher Ground (3:43)
6. Jesus Children Of America (4:10)
7. All In Love Is Fair (3:43)
8. Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing (4:46)
9. He's Misstra Know-It-All (5:33). Produced by Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder (vocals, piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Moog synthesizer, drums), Dean Parks, Ralph Hammer (acoustic guitar), David T. Walker (electric guitar), Clarence Bell (organ), Malcolm Cecil, Willie Weeks, Scott Edwards (bass), Larry Latimer (congas), Sheila Wilkerson (bongos), and Yusuf Roahman (shaker). - - - - - One of Stevie Wonder's best albums and the one where his more fanciful, free-form moments gel perfectly with his knack for irresistible pop singles, 1973's Innervisions swings between delicate and airy ballads, Latin-influenced rhythms (the hit "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing"), and his own synth-heavy versions of gut-bucket soul (the determined spiritual questing of "Higher Ground"). The striking juxtaposition between "Vision," a barely breathed hope that a world of peace might be upon us, and the great "Living for the City," a funky, pulsing tale of racism, is powerful, haunting, and still all too relevant. --David Cantwell |
