This is the week of May 7th, 2006

Once again, it’s Gil Scott-Heron week at BoL. We begin with four of Gil’s classic blues ballads, move on to tunes from Gil’s last studio album, Spirits, and end with three versions of a Gil Scott-Heron classic, one by R&B great Esther Phillips, one by Gil’s former partner Brian Jackson and the last by Gil himself. The way we see it, you can never have too much Gil. Enjoy!
