The gray season is long here. The gloom makes us dreamy, and it keeps us indoors. It’s cold tonight and the thaw is a long way off, so I’m gonna put on my headphones, lay on the floor and listen to Innervisions.

If you’re feeling a little melancholy, you can too.

“Golden Lady” is probably my favorite track on this record – it’s sweet, and subtle, and a little psychedelic. It’s perfectly wedded to the early 70s, but also a little timeless.

The album is crazy great all the way through, but I’m happy to provide a little YouTube sampler of my favorite moments. You should definitely check out these good’uns as well.

If you don’t own this record, the Communists have won. I promise you a full refund if Stevie doesn’t put a little spring in your step.
