Episode notes
The Albums:
- Prince: Dirty Mind (1980)
- Prince: 1999 (1982)
- Prince: Purple Rain (1984)
Hard to believe but Prince’s landmark album Purple Rain turns 35 years this week (and the Purple One himself would have just celebrated his 61st birthday last week). In honor of these milestones and the fact that Prince is one of Heat Rocks’ Triple Crown winners (i.e. his albums have been featured three times so far), we decided to offer you a “Best of Prince” episode that splices together highlights from our previous three Prince eps:

About the show
Hosted by Oliver Wang and Morgan Rhodes, every episode of Heat Rocks invites a special guest to talk about a heat rock – a hot album, a scorching record. These are in-depth conversations about the albums that shape our lives.
Our guests include musicians, writers, and scholars and though we don’t exclusively focus on any one genre, expect to hear about albums from the worlds of soul, hip-hop, funk, jazz, Latin, and more.
