        LATEST UPDATE 1/25 Wonder Wednesday – Contusion

        Welcome to Wonder Wednesday where you’ll see a new Stevie Wonder song for the next few months. Enjoy the wonder of Stevie.

        The first band performance of the album is a blistering, Steely Dan-esque instrumental workout on which Stevie’s musicians are let off the leash. There’s more than a whiff of jazz-funk/fusion here – if your favourite Stevie Wonder number is I Just Called To Say I Love You, look away now (in fact, just go away) – but its writer’s pop sensibilities ensure that it remains thoroughly listenable, and there’s some fine lead guitar playing from Mike Sembello.

            this is without a doubt the most challenging Stevie song on guitar and the whole band has a blast with the Wonder man’s toe dipping into jazz fusion

                LATEST UPDATE 1/27 – Chicago – Mississippi Delta City Blues

                “Mississippi Delta City Blues” a song written by Terry Kath which shows off how great a rhythm guitarist he was. The brass doesn’t overdo it, punctuating the verses in a manner reminiscent of James Brown’s band – the whole song sounds a little like Brown’s Papa Don’t Take No Mess. The song was one of the earliest written when they formed in 1967. This version was recorded for Chicago V but shelved once the album went from a double to a single LP. It would be rerecorded for Chicago XI in 1977 but this earlier take IMO is much more powerful and raw.

                  LATEST UPDATE 1/30 Frank Zappa – Pick Me I’m Clean



                  GUITAR/BASS: nsw1-6

                  “Pick Me, I’m Clean” was written in the late ’70s, probably 1979 or even early 1980. It was premiered at the beginning of Frank Zappa’s 1980 tour and was included on the live LP Tinsel Town Rebellion. The song immortalizes a particular groupie who tried to have sex with all members of the group. The lyrics reproduce some of her actual comments (the song title, the line “Do you like my band-aid?”). Zappa takes the opportunity to deliver a few gentle stabs at his musicians. The song begins with a slow pop/rock melody very similar in style to the later song “Any Kind of Pain.” The bridge and chorus escalate into a fast-paced comedy rock song that, when added to the topic of “life on the road,” is very reminiscent of the time when Flo & Eddie were part of the band. When the opening verses come back, they are sung at a much faster tempo. The song was performed regularly throughout the 1980 tour, disappeared afterward, and was only brought back a couple of times in 1988. Its short life did not discourage the tribute band the Muffin Men from including it on their CD Music of Frank Zappa.

                              LATEST UPDATE 2/1 Wonder Wednesday – I Love Every Little Thing About You

                              Welcome to Wonder Wednesday where you’ll see a new Stevie Wonder song for the next few months. Enjoy the wonder of Stevie.

                              Maybe many at Motown were perplexed by Stevie Wonder’s change of musical direction when he was about 20 years old. Perhaps that’s the reason that one of Wonder’s key tracks from his Music of My Mind LP was buried on the B-side of “Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You).” Entering his twenties, Wonder was tired of the process of playing a part to his musical director who’d write down the part, then bring it to a musician who wouldn’t play it exactly like Wonder wanted. He wanted to have total creative control from the first inklings of a song to its complete realization as a professional recording. Meeting synth programmers Malcom Cecil and Robert Margouleff, the Motown artist began to realize his dream. The tender jazzy ballad “I Love Every Little Thing About You” was a popular radio-aired LP track from his revolutionary album Music of My Mind, which went to number six R&B, number 21 pop. The album’s only hit single, “Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You),” went to number 13 R&B and number 33 pop in spring 1972 . That’s due in part to the odd choice of the frantic “You Keep Me Running” as the follow-up single “I Love Every Little Thing About You”‘s feel was more akin to the first single. Still, many bought and enjoyed Music of My Mind because it was so fresh and a tasty precursor to what was about to come.
