GIL SCOTT HERON & BRIAN JACKSON-BRIDGES



BRIDGES
Gil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson
Arista Records
1977


As always...a great Gil Scott Heron album. this one includes "We almost lost Detroit"
used for the brilliant Kanye West Produced,
"The people" on Commons latest effort.. Finding Forever

Dusty Groove says it best when they say
"The record's a great showcase for the more upbeat side of Gil's talents -- and what it lacks in righteousness, it more than makes up for in a warmly flowing and very soulful vibe! The band's in great form -- laying down tight warm jazzy riffs that provide some of the best backing for Gil's voice we've heard since Winter In America "

if your into Gil Scott Heron you should already have this one, if your new to it... listen to the songs, if the revolution was not to be televised...it sure was recorded..

Side A

1. Hello Sunday! Hello Road!

2. Song Of The Wind

3. Racetrack In France

4. Vildgolia (Deaf, Dumb & Blind)

Side B

1. Under The Hammer

2. We Almost Lost Detroit

3. Tuskegee #626

4. Delta Man (Where I'm Coming From)

5. 95 South (All Of The Places We've Been)

ENJOY!!!

Hi there,
I’ve linked to your page in my post of Gil Scott-Heron “Live at the Bottom Line” (1977) - it's got live versions of many of the tracks of this album.
All the Best,
Simon from Never Enough Rhodes
