Retro Release: 36 years ago today—on August 16, 1989—Red Hot Chili Peppers released Mother’s Milk, their fourth studio album, produced by Michael Beinhorn and recorded November 1988–March 1989 (sessions at Ocean Way / Image Studios). A turning point for the band after the death of Hillel Slovak, Mother’s Milk blends funk-rock grit with tighter songcraft and new melodic dynamics thanks to the arrival of John Frusciante (guitar) and Chad Smith (drums). Hear it on the funked-up Stevie Wonder cover “Higher Ground,” the anthemic, reflective “Knock Me Down,” and the groove-driven “Taste The Pain.”
Commercially, the album reached No. 52 on the US Billboard 200, went Gold in March 1990, and has since been certified Platinum—marking the Peppers’ first major commercial breakthrough and setting the stage for Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
