Stevie Wonder - Innervisions

Long Player with Steven Rainey

Available for 26 days

In 1973, Stevie Wonder released Innervisions, the latest in a line of innovative and exploratory albums. It showcased him as one of the most creative musicians operating in contemporary music, and pointed in new directions for him to explore. Three days after its release, he was involved in a near-fatal car accident, and that creative journey was almost brought to a premature end. In this episode of Long Player, Steven Rainey explores the road to Innervisions, and the creative transformation that Stevie Wonder underwent during his recovery. With classic tracks and archived interviews, this is a chance to revisit one of the most visionary albums ever made. This programme is a repeat. The initial TX date was 01.06.25
