On October 27, 1972, Stevie Wonder released "Talking Book," an essential album in his legendary Classic Era and the unofficial start of his Classic Era.

To discuss the album in totality, I am pleased to have Evan Barnes, who covers University of Memphis football for the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, join the show!

Evan is a big of a Stevie fan as I am, so we didn't get too much into the technical aspect of the album, but more of the feel of the times and the greatness of Talking Book, from the melancholy to the hopeful, the spirited to the sullen and much more.

DMX was a personal hero of mine, so of course I had to review the album that literally was my soundtrack my senior year of high school, "Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood." It was his second Number One album of 1998 and the one I closely held onto as I tried to make sense of my teenage angst at the time. It's the next to last album in the #CPNTShow #BMM30 series and probably the most special.

Janet Jackson stepped out on her own in the winter of 1986 as a young woman ready to, well, take Control of her life. And that's what she did on her third studio album, the first with the legendary production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on the boards and it proved to be a mission statement as well as ushering the world into a new era of female pop star. It's our #CPNTShow #BMM30 album of the day for sure and one of Chris' favorites of all time.

We couldn't get through June without discussing the greatest American band of all-time.

The Isley Brothers topped both R&B and Pop Charts in 1975 with "The Heat Is On" and the heat is definitely present on this album. Angry protest songs, aggressive musicianship and smooth grooves to close it out make it the perfect album to start with if you want to understand the greatness of the Isleys.
