FAMOUS
ORIGINAL 1971 BRAZIL MONO

Gilberto Gil "Gilberto Gil" (Philips, 1971) 
While in European exile, both Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil made English-language albums; this one is the best of the two. Rather than mope and wax profound (like Veloso), Gil partied down. The title of one track, "Three Mushrooms," gives you some idea of where his head was at... ("The first mushroom/makes room for my mind/to get inside the magic room/of Dionysius' house...") A few tracks, such as "Nega," "Crazy Pop Rock," and "Volkswagen Blues" often show up on best-ofs, but in their electric forms... here they get a lovely, wacked-out, improvisational acoustic treatment. Also features a nice version of Steve Winwood's "Can't Find My Way Home," which tackles the exile issue elliptically rather than literally. Highly recommended -- one of Gil's best!
