Show Notes

PRINCE GOES INSTRUMENTAL! It’s week four of “All Instrumental April” and we invite local Prince expert Kelly Prestridge (The Gones, Ground Above Zero) to help us discuss Prince’s worst selling album. Why didn’t Prince just call this “SEWN”? At what point does smooth jazz become softcore porn music? How much of this was pre-written, how much was edited, and how much was overdubbed? Is this the soundtrack for the new Weather Channel competitor? What was Prince’s relationship with the internet? And is that why the only results you get when goodling this album are for nuptial and birth announcements for Harry and William? Is this a really a jam session or a rehearsal? What is Prince’s worst album? We’ll answer at least a few of these questions on this week’s episode of Detours and Outliers.
