referencing Winter In America, LP, Album, Gat, SES-19742
This might be just one of the best albums of the 70's - at the very least, it's one of the most touching. The parts that really get to me are the songs where it's just Jackson drenching the surroundings in that beautiful echoey classic Rhodes tremolo, making everything seem sweet and uneasy at the same time, while Gil delivers lyrics that are half prayer and half love song, in a voice I can only describe as "honest-sounding". Sad hopefulness or hopeful sadness? Whatever it is, it's painfully intimate. The whole album is such an experience.
That having been said, does anyone know of a good CD reissue of it? The one I recently bought (SNAF833CD from Charly Records) has quite a bit of hiss on it, and I'm sure that there must be better-sounding versions out there.

Winter of America continues familiar themes, of social commentary and black consciousness, but there's more of a focus on instrumentation here than on the previous album "Free Will", so the result is more palatable, although the production is generally more stripped down than on "Pieces of Man" and there are a couple of lighter tunes. "The Bottle" is the nearest he ever gets to writing a pop song and is easily his most enduring tune.
