GIL SCOTT-HERON and BRIAN JACKSON - “WINTER IN AMERICA”

Jay Smooth of illdoctrine.com and hip-hop radio host at WBAI 99.5 FM: “I have a tradition every year, when the temperature starts to drop, of setting aside some time to meditate with Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson’s ‘Winter in America,’ a few times on repeat. It braces me for the melancholy that comes with the changing season, and captures my accompanying sense of dread, each year, at the state of the world. Looking around at our political/cultural/spiritual climate in 2010, I’m thinking I’d better start my ‘Winter in America’ ritual a little early.”
