Seattle Rock Orchestra ?rst explores the best of Stevie Wonder's output as an emerging recording artist for Motown Records from ages 11 to 21. Imbued with the classic Motown sound made popular by label-mates Diana Ross, The Supremes, the Jackson 5 and Marvin Gaye, Wonder's early songs are rife with themes of young love and heartbreak. Featured songs include "Uptight (Everything's Alright)", "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours", "For Once In My Life" and "I Was Made To Love Her". SRO then perform works from Wonder's classic period, drawing from acclaimed albums Talking Book, Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life. Now enjoying complete artistic freedom, Wonder's music from this era was increasingly inventive, yielding experiments with new synthesizer sounds and lyrics of a more personal nature that express his thoughts on social issues, exposed his unique spirituality and spread his message of the universality of love. Featured songs include "Superstition", "Sir Duke", "You are the Sunshine of My Life", "I Wish", and more.

Joe Lewis is stuffed into a van with his six bandmates and one stranger, as they hurtle across Texas to a gig in Marfa. Most of the guys are sleeping now, content in the knowledge they've just made the record of their lives. All killer, no filler, the fittingly titled, take-no-prisoners Scandalous (Lost Highway)-once again produced by Jim Eno, moonlighting from his main gig as Spoon's drummer-is a churning slab of rock & roll, blues and funk, laced with a double shot of 100-proof punkitude. This band has gotten tight as a gnat's ass through nearly two years of barnstorming without a break. "We've grown a lot as a band, and so has our fan base," the lanky, enigmatic Lewis acknowledges. "Hopefully it's still going up, but it will ultimately be what we make of it. As the shows get bigger and we get bigger, we have to keep improving to meet the demand. If we can't do that, it won't go anywhere." From the look in Joe's eyes as he glances at the one-stoplight towns and endless open country of central Texas whizzing past, you can tell he knows whereof he speaks. While on the road, they also eagerly soaked up the worldly knowledge of touring mates the New York Dolls and Cedric Burnside & Lightnin' Malcolm. "The Dolls covered Bo Diddley and Sonny Boy Williamson, and so do we," says guitarist Zach Ernst, riding shotgun in the van, as he does in the band. "That youthful, aggressive, unschooled thing is really appealing to us. That's what we like to listen to and what we're shooting for. We've had some lineup changes since the first record, but at its core, it's still the same band, and everyone's excited to move on to the next stage."
