We can work it out …

There is a weekly niche podcast by (to me) legendary producer Owen Cutts) called Mr Cutts’ Chop Shop (Patreon link). It’s about music, life, tea, slurping and much more. This week’s episode was a Beatles (Soul) Cover Special. The palette cleanser of the show was the Stevie Wonder cover of We Can Work it Out. The moment made me realize that there are always things to discover, no matter how much of a music lover you are. Can you imagine I had never heard this version?? It had me dancing in the kitchen while emptying the dishwasher. And yes, it’s in my Mr Cutts playlist now, of course.

Like Owen said, Stevie is a god. His creations are spanning decades and so many of them are etched in our brains for ever. But still … today … was my work it out moment. Don’t you wish we could send this to the powers that be in the world before they turn our pretty planet to shreds.

Pass on the message!

If you haven’t heard it either, here’s the Youtube link.
