Happy 50th anniversary to one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, albums ever made. Stevie Wonder's double album is a fiercely inspired collection of songs and one of the definitive soul records of the 1970s. What's your favorite track from Songs in the Key of Life? 📀

So exciting to receive copies of my forthcoming @3313books.bsky.social book on Woody Guthrie's 'Dust Bowl Ballads'! I think this 1940 album on ecological collapse; police brutality; mistreatment of migrants; & making art despite it all is as timely as ever www.bloomsbury.com/us/woody-gut...
