Wonder nails it. He nails the American landscape with his style of R&B. His voice is so young though, that I felt like i was listening to the ramblings of 20 year old. Not to say that I didn't enjoy the music, there were times when, because he was so young, I had trouble taking what he said seriously. His songs did a great job to get me moving, and to get my mind moving. The song Living for the City is a great description of life for minorities at the time.
His riffs had me humming, and of course since I know how his life turned out I have a great respect for these early songs in his career. Anyways, these song show a great artist ready to bust out. Songs that get right under your skin, and you can't help but love them.
