Like Strayhorn and the Duke, Gil really found someone he could bounce off in the shape of Brian Jackson. His earlier stuff is pure gold, but very droney sometimes... BUT THIS!!!This I never tire of. The songs still sound so vibrant and fresh.The live version of 'home is where the hatred is' has been sampled by masters @ work, and is a muso's dream to get into.'Hello Sunday hello road is one of the grooviest tracks around, and you just can fail to move along and understand the message of 'It's your world.' My Mum used to have the LP, Secrets, with the cats face on the cover. Angel dust is a spacey reincarnation of whats it's like to trip out on the stuff, and the lyrics to showbusiness are more relevent today than ever before.This is one of the best and most valuble compilations of Gils to come out, and is an essential purchase for and funkster and poet.
