In The Groove: Jeff Tweedy’s massive solo album, Big Thief’s ‘Happy With You,’ plus a musical time capsule from 1998

Cracking open a couple of musical time capsules by throwing it back to the releases of Stevie Wonder’s magnum opus “Songs in the Key of Life” as well as a groundbreaking Temptations single.

We also go back 27 years ago to 1998 when A Tribe Called Quest and OutKast both dropped landmark albums on the same day.

Of course, there’s new stuff, too, from Nightbus, Jeff Tweedy, Big Thief, Tortoise and more.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
