ESTHER PHILLIPS - HOME IS WHERE THE HATRED IS

I *love* the work of Gil Scott-Heron; his incredible poetry and powerful delivery is some of the most powerful folk music ever cut to wax.

"Home Is Where The Hatred Is" has proven to be one of Gil's most enduring tracks, and this reading from one of the most unique voices in soul is the stuff of wonder. Esther squeezes melody out of the song and lends her haunting voice in a way that drives home the message in a way that is just as powerful as the original.

from 1972...

WOW!

How have I never hears this before?

Love Gil Sott Heron. This is an awesome arrangement. It just has that Harlem-Bronx-inner city 1970's feel all over it. I had to look on the label to see who did the arrangement - - it's Pee Wee Ellis! Serious cred, right there.

Thanks for this - it's a keeper for sure.
