4.0 out of 5 stars
stevie lands down to earth and lifting off in 1966,
This review is from: Down to Earth (Audio CD)
(The Amazon product review description is incorrect.It has the Stevie Wonder remake of the Bob Dylan track,'Blowin' In The Wind'listed in this album.It is on the 'Uptight' album not on the'Down To Earth'album.)
In 1966,Stevie Wonder released two albums:'Uptight'and 'Down To Earth'/In both of these albums,Stevie's voice became of age.'Down To Earth'is the extension of 'Uptight'as his vocals and musicianship became more apparent.As usual,Motown had always have its artists have cover versions of other artists songs mixed in with Motown originals inside of their albums.This album is no different.Seven of the album's twelve tracks are originals including one Motown cover version.'Bang Bang'is Stevie's clever remake of the Sonny and Cher classic.'Lonesome Road' is a soulful remake and duet with his musical mentor Clarence Paul.'Mr.Tambourine Man' is Wonder's remake of the 1960s Bob Dylan classic and also a brooding cover version of the track 'Sixteen Tons'/Wonder is much closer to home with a nice cover version of his labelmates The Supremes on the track,'My World Is Empty Without You'/The seven track originals are this album's highlights.Tunes such as 'A Place In The Sun'and the album's title track,'Down To Earth'are slow but moderate numbers.'Thank You Love' is an uptempo gem alongside the other upbeat tracks 'Be Cool,Be Calm(And Keep Yourself Together)'and 'Angel Baby'which are in the blueprint of 'Uptight'/Other originals are the sweet ballad 'Sylvia'and the soulful r&b number 'Hey Love'
