I’ve just finished reading The Vulture by Gil Scott-Heron. Its a story from the late 60′s based in the ghetto, New York City. A man known well for his lyrics Gil does not disappoint. If you know anything about Gil you will realise while reading this book that that he’s telling stories close to his own experiences.
Slightly anxious to hear what his new album sounds like after a 13 year gap. I don’t expect to hear another Pieces of a Man but I have Gil on a very high pedestal and want to keep him there.
Me And The Devil is our first taster and its left my mouth watering. The spoken word at the end on the clip below is the first page of The Vulture. Read it.
