Gil Scott-Heron - Liberation Song (The Red, Black and Green) video free download
First Minute Of A New Day was the first album that Gil and Brian recorded with the fantastic Midnight Band their power is well illustrated on 'Liberation Song' where Gil and Victor Brown interchange vocals over a barnstorming groove. 'Winter In America' is one of Gil's most celebrated and memorable songs, lyrically thought provoking. 'Western Sunrise' is another powerful track, showing the jazzier side of their music. The album is a mixture of Soul, Jazz and other influences sometimes powerful; mellow at others, but always compelling, with great lyrics. Remastered from the original tapes this CD sounds incredible.
