Gil Scott-Heron - Nothing New

 

Stripped-down new versions of songs from Gil Scott-Heron catalog!

Limited time album download included

Nothing New is an album of recordings that Gil Scott-Heron and Richard Russell made in New York during the sessions for Gil's final studio album, I'm New Here. It is comprised of songs that Gil chose from his back catalog, just voice and piano. Each song he chose was from a different album of his. He carefully curated the selection, so this album serves as an excellent introduction to his previous output.

Originally released for Record Store Day 2014 as a limited edition of 2,000 copies with silk screen covers, this has now been repressed on black vinyl as a companion piece to the current Gil Scott-Heron Makaya McCraven release, We're New Again.
