Winter in America is a must download

A classic

One of my favorites by Gil. I saw him perform in Denver this May, where he played Winter in America when the meaning pointed to the debacle left by the Bush administration. A timeless classic...

Exactly like the Original

Speaking of samples, this album was recorded prior to sampling technology. No samples used, only living performers, organic performances. Yes, this is the original, a word very befitting Gil Scott Heron. A great offering from emusic, thanks for including some tasty GSH.

Much Like The Original

Dotti

The samples sound just like I remember the originals sounding. If you like Gil Scott-Heron, you will like many cuts on this album.

This follow-up to the righteous and soulful Winter In America LP continues with the solid, decidedly left-of-center jazz-R&B that made him a cult figure throughout the ’70s. This output, with the opening meditation of “Offering” and the right-on “Ain’t No Such Thing as Superman,” solidifies Heron’s place in the pantheon of jazz poets. Dig the recited (possibly improvised) live take of “Pardon Our Analysis,” a follow-up to his seminal “H2O Blues.” And this reissue features four unreleased tracks, including a live medley of “The Bottle/Guan Guanco.” – Tim Sheridan
