When I need some deep groove funk, I turn to Prince's towering 1980 release, Dirty Mind. Here, on his third album, Prince plays nearly every instrument and finally finds the sound that will make him one of the most important musicians ever. It's true that Prince has been inconsistent over the years, but not on this fabulous, soulful, rhythmic, rocking album. Really, it might be the best thing he's ever recorded, and that's saying a lot. Still controversial, Prince's challenging lyrics cover everything from oral sex to incest (and that only covers two songs). This is a mesmerizing CD that blows me away every time I listen to it. Note for best listening experience: windows down, volume on max.Recent Posts
