Notes: An
established writer and poet Scott-Heron is hailed as an early influencer
of Rap and other genres of music from the streets and the people.
Along with his collaborator Brian Jackson and The Midnight Band
this record got some chart notice and subsequent airplay. Mixing
rock and R&B stylings with the poetry and political leanings
of previous releases the music was a blend of the serious and the
somber and the yearnings of times gone by, but always has an eye
on the future. The cover art doesn't try to tone down the politics
and puts it's heart right up front. An interesting snapshot in
time.
