4.0 out of 5 stars
A hard read, but a great one.
"Songs in the Key of Life," Zeth Lundy's contribution to the 33 1/3 series, is a great installment to an excellent series. The author describes and discusses the making of Stevie Wonder's 1976 release with a interesting spin, dividing its 21 compositions into five catagories/chapters: Birth, Innocence, Experience, Death and Transcendence.

Don't waste your time
Zeth Lundy wastes the opportunity to write about one of the greatest musical statements in pop/soul music in order to gargle his cynical opinions with a pretentious vocabulary that requires a close-at-hand dictionary to decipher. Don't bother...the opinions are not worth the effort to understand. Stevie Wonder's album speaks to the heart, Lundy's words can only be for...

Don't bother...the opinions are not worth the effort to understand. Stevie Wonder's album speaks to the heart, Lundy's words can only be for his own amusement.

This review is from: Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life (33 1/3) (Paperback)
"Songs in the Key of Life," Zeth Lundy's contribution to the 33 1/3 series, is a great installment to an excellent series. The author describes and discusses the making of Stevie Wonder's 1976 release with a interesting spin, dividing its 21 compositions into five catagories/chapters: Birth, Innocence, Experience, Death and Transcendence. He uses his research to illustrate this method in very fine fashion. I must admit, it was a difficult read for me and may be for others. There are a lot of "big" words in it, which is the reason it gets four stars rather than five, but in the end, the book is informative, expressive, entertaining and surprisingly objective. As a HUGE Stevie Wonder fan and music journalist, I must say that this book is wonderful, no pun intented.
