The late great American jazz poet, writer and singer Gil Scott-Heron's Winter in America is a masterwork of poetic soul, political urgency and emotional depth in a catalogue full of such works. Collaborating with Brian Jackson and released in 1974, the album still feels like an audio novel in that it is literary, raw and timeless in its capture of the chilling reality of post-civil rights America through Scott-Heron's signature mix of jazz, blues and spoken word. His fierce critique of injustice is balanced by moments of tender introspection, from the hard truths of 'The Bottle' to the lullaby-like 'Your Daddy Loves You.' Decades on, Winter in America remains a defining cultural document.
