Scott-Heron, Gil - Free Will

NEW VINYL LP ON BGP 2014

180 GRAM VINYL.

Gil Scott-Heron's third album is split down the middle, the first side being a purely musical experience with a full band (including flutist Hubert Laws and drummer Pretty Purdie), the second functioning more as a live rap session with collaborator Brian Jackson on flute and a few friends on percussion. For side one, although he's overly tentative on the ballad "The Middle of Your Day," Scott-Heron excels on the title track and the third song, "The Get Out of the Ghetto Blues," one of his best, best-known performances. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Scott-Heron
