down to earth

180 gram LP
Originally released in 1966 (when Stevie was only 16) as the follow up album to Stevie's second number one hit "Uptight". By the release of this album Stevie's artistic direction had shifted decidedly away from the "Little Stevie" era, and he can be heard laying the groundwork for the more mature sound that would soon become his trademark. Featuring his version of Bob Dylan's 'Blowin ln The Wind' (which hit #1 on the R&B charts) and Ron Miller's 'A Place In The Sun' in 1966. (#3 on US R&B).
