Meet Doe! (+ Aaron ”A-Train” Smith on Stevie Wonder in the 70s on the Jukebox)

On this episode of the True Tunes Podcast, we spend some quality
time with one of the most exciting and fresh contemporary Gospel
artists to emerge in years. DOE, (aka Dominique Jones) first came
to our attention as a member of Forever Jones – an eclectic
Gospel group that included her parents and siblings. With her
solo debut LP Clarity, released on Jonathan McReynolds’ new label
with RCA Inspiration, (and including contributions by Israel
Houghton, Matt Maher, McReynolds, and more,) DOE demonstrates
talent, wisdom, and vision beyond her age. Her self-assured
style, which includes elements of Norah Jones and Lauryn Hill,
challenges conventions – even as it has already scored a #1 Hit
on Gospel Radio.


 


On the Jukebox, we are joined by our good friend Aaron “A-Train”
Smith to listen deeply to Stevie Wonder’s world-changing music in
the 1970s. Between '72 and '76 Wonder released five albums, four
of which won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. He dominated
the R&B and Pop charts and plowed his own lane – setting
standards and influencing artists for generations to come.
A-Train was drumming for The Temptations, The Undisputed Truth,
and other Motown bands during those years. He gives us an
insider’s remembrance of Wonder, his music, and his legacy. Full
show notes and music list is available at TrueTunes.com/DOE.
