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?
