FUV's Album ReCue series, shining a light on influential and underappreciated albums, was born from our evolving EQFM initiative examining the issue of gender disparity and racial inequity in the music industry.
Leading up to WFUV's 1971 Throwback Thursday on March 25 — dedicated to albums celebrating their 50th anniversary this year — all month on "Album ReCue" we'll be taking a deep dive into some of the '71 releases that mean the most to our weekday FUV hosts. This week, it's Carly Simon's self-titled debut.
