• Track Listing

Gil paired soulful songs with extended, impassioned raps (about everything from police tactics to John Coltrane) on this soul-jazz classic from 1972. Hubert Laws and Bernard "Pretty" Purdie are in his fantastic band as Gil tells it like it is on Free Will; The Get Out of the Ghetto Blues; Speed Kills; No Knock; …And Then He Wrote Meditations; Ain’t No New Thing; Did You Hear What They Said?, and more. This is a very special reissue, remastered from the original tapes, offered here on CD or 180-gram vinyl and (on the CD only) featuring alternate takes of all but one of the album tracks! BGP.
