Description of From South Africa to South Carolina
Digitally remastered edition of this 1975 album from Gil Scott-Heron and his musical partner in crime, Brian Jackson. From South Africa to South Carolina includes the single 'Johannesburg' which brought to our attention the resistance to the apartheid regime in South Africa. This album consolidated Gil Scott-Heron and Bran Jackson as major label artists and gave them an R&B chart single and a wider audience.Gil-Scott Heron pulled few punches on this powerful 1975 release, his second effort with the Midnight Band. The jazz here ("Summer of '42," "Essex") is hard, flint-edged stuff, dipped in funk and Latin percussion. The ballads ("Beginnings," "A Lovely Day") are pretty, and the lyrics (especially on "A Toast to the People") are potent. The Clash's Mick Jones, a fan of Scott-Heron's, once told Rolling Stone that "people would rather dance than fight wars," but "Johannesburg" and the nuclear-power-protesting "South Carolina (Barnwell)" prove you can do both at the same time. Bonus tracks include live versions of the latter as well as the in-your-face anthem "Let Me See Your I.D." from the 1985 Sun City project. --Michael Ruby
