The Mind of Gil Scott-Heron (subtitled A Collection of Poetry and Music) is a 1978 album by spoken word and rap artist Gil Scott-Heron. Like many of Scott-Heron's albums, the album's content primarily addresses political and social issues; however, The Mind of Gil Scott-Heron relies far more on his spoken word delivery
25 mag 2024 · Studio 150 provided an interesting peek into Weller’s record collection (Allen Toussaint’s Hercules, Early Morning Rain by Gordon Lightfoot, Gil Scott-Heron’s The Bottle and Tim Hardin’s folk lament Don’t Make Promises are among the tunes covered), and his version of Wishing On A Star has its own sparkle but you can’t ...

Our collection begins before Paul was even sure he wanted to release music under his own name rather than a band set-up, with a staging-post 1991 single by the Paul Weller Movement. As he told Q magazine in 1993: “The turning point for me was writing ‘Into Tomorrow’ on my first solo album. Up until then I thought I’d lost it. Sometimes you just hav...
The albeit modest Top 40 appearance of “Into Tomorrow” in the UK reassured Weller to follow his instincts. That in turn led to a new deal with the highly-regarded independent Go! Discs label and Paul’s impressive, self-titled first solo album the following year. A Top 10 album in the UK – modest by his former and indeed future standards – also incl...
From the hugely successful 1990s period in which he was embraced again by old fans, discovered by new ones and ultimately crowned the Modfather — whether he liked it or not — there’s the title hit from Wild Wood. It was another courageous departure into acoustic, folk-influenced territory. The bucolic feel was an acknowledgement that everyone, incl...
The first single from the landmark Stanley Roadalbum was the infectious rocky “The Changingman,” which gave Weller a new UK Top 10 single, his first as a solo artist. A flagship composition with Brendan Lynch, the song was an exciting encapsulation of Paul’s creative restlessness, and a track with a descending chord progression drawn from deep in h...
“You Do Something To Me” is perhaps one of the musician’s most universal compositions, and probably the song that comes quickest to mind whenever anyone thinks of a Weller ballad. With its open-hearted lyric and winning melody, it became another Top 10 hit and continues to be a signature of his solo catalog. “This definitely strikes a chord in peop...
The Stanley Road album, from which we hear the title song, was named after the street in Woking, Surrey, where Paul grew up. He continues to regard the album, which featured such guests as Steve Winwoodand Noel Gallagher, as a particular high point of his career, a nod both to his youth and to his present and future.
Weller’s album output has always reflected his love of 1960s-influenced rock, as on “Peacock Suit” from Heavy Soul. The single became his highest-placed solo hit in the UK, reaching No.5, and wooed fans with its typically gritty update of the mod sound of his earliest musical recollection.
The seasoned singer-songwriter was in more acoustic, troubadour mood for “Friday Street” from the same album. The set was again produced by confidant Brendan Lynch, also known for his work with Primal Scream and Ocean Colour Scene. The song won comparisons with Weller’s mid-to-late Jam period with its guitar work and harmonies.
Jumping ahead to 2002, during Weller’s spell with Independiente Records, the Illumination album (his second UK No.1, after Stanley Road) was co-produced with Simon Dine. Collaborators included Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer of Oasis and Kelly Jones of Stereophonics. Its highlights included the soul-jazz-inflected “It’s Written In The Stars,” a flavo...
2004’s Studio 150 was named after the small studio where it was recorded in Amsterdam. This time, one of the most prolific writers in rock devoted his time to a collection of covers (and anyone who has ever been to a Weller show, from his earliest Jam days to the present, knows of his ability to reinhabit so many of his favorite songs to great effe...

"The Bottle" is a song by American soul artist Gil Scott-Heron and musician Brian Jackson, released in 1974 on Strata-East Records in the United States. It was later reissued during the mid-1980s on Champagne Records in the United Kingdom.
This album is a compilation of most of Gil's most important poems, mostly with little or no musical accompaniment. Virtually every track is a stand-out: it begins with H20gate Blues, a fierce and rather funny denunciation of Nixon's gerrymandering his 2nd election victory.
