Fans of Gil Scott Heron have had to exist on pretty thin gruel over the last decade or so. Gil has drifted between rehab and prison a lot in recent years, but in the 1970's through to the 80's he produced some of the best music to come out of America. Winter in America, Whitey's on the Moon, his scathing criticism of Ronnie Raygun in B Movie, We almost lost Detroit and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised were classics.
Well... the man is back, and in blistering form. His new album, I'm New Here is out on February 8th, but you can listen to the whole damn thing right here on Gil's own website.
