The
first of Stevie’s classic period, this is actually the second album where he
was given full artistic freedom. There’s still a feel of him regarded as a
Motown novelty on the album before this, Where
I’m Coming From, but on Music Of My
Mind you can start to hear him branching out.
This album doesn’t have any of the big hits that his follow-up albums have, so
it always tends to get overlooked. It arguably has the best cover of any of his
classis albums - a close up photograph of Stevie wearing mirrored Aviators,
with a couple of random images in the reflection of each glass. Unfortunately,
some of the covers of his later, more well-renowned albums have dated quite
badly - (and obviously he isn’t responsible for that aspect of his career).
Hit: Superwoman (Where Were You When I
Needed You)
Hidden Gem: I Love Every Thing About
