MUST HAVE/MUST HEARchicago,IL/jackson,TN
"they told us the streets were paved with gold. and some of us believed them."
wow, i screwed myself. i mean, what can you write in praise of gil scott-heron that has not already been written. and brian jackson, and this album for that matter.
i guess you could say that this is his more/ or most, commercial release. and i might even say that this is his second best album, Pieces of a Man, being his first, but still nothing lacks. the players are right, the recording is right, and with scott-heron, you know that the words are right. i don't even feel as though i have the right to try to describe this to you.
fuck it, i will just stop embarrassing myself. here's a little info.....
recorded in '73 by scott-heron, jackson, and jose williams
released on Strata-East, in '74
bob adams, drums
danny bowens, bass
