<\/div>\n

The fruitful collaboration between poet Gil Scott-Heron<\/a> and multi-instrumentalist Brian Jackson will be the focus of an upcoming reggae<\/a> tribute album. The LP was revealed Wednesday on what would have been Scott-Heron\u2019s 71st birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carry Me Home: A Reggae Tribute to Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson<\/em>, due out May 27th, is the brainchild of Washington D.C. reggae group the Archives along with Thievery Corporation\u2019s Eric Hilton, who recruited artists like Raheem DeVaughn, dub poet Mutabaruka, Puma Ptah, Addis Pablo and Kenyatta Hill (the sons of reggae legends Augustus Pablo and Culture\u2019s Joseph Hill, respectively) for the tribute comp. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jackson, whose renowned collaborations with the late Scott-Heron span from the poet\u2019s 1971 album Pieces of a Man<\/i> through their joint 1980 LP 1980<\/i>, also appears on three Carry Me Home<\/em> tracks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rolling Stone<\/em> previously shared Carry Me Home<\/em>\u2019s \u201cHome Is Where the Hatred Is<\/a>,\u201d and today brings \u201cA Toast to the People,\u201d a cut from 1975\u2019s From South Africa to South Carolina<\/em> that receives a reggae retooling from the Archives and singer DeVaughn:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been meditating the proper way to approach this project for a few years now,\u201d The Archives\u2019 Darryl \u201cTrane\u201d Burke said of Carry Me Home. \u201c<\/em>I was fortunate to grow up in a home where Gil and Brian\u2019s music played often alongside The Wailers, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse and many others. Reggae is also dubbed \u2018Island Soul,\u2019 which to me makes this a perfect setting to present the music through a different lens while simultaneously highlighting the similarities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLike Gil\u2019s compositions, reggae contains elements of jazz and soul,\u201d Hilton added. \u201cIt\u2019s the perfect backdrop to Gil\u2019s revolutionary pan-Africanist lyrics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Carry Me Home<\/em> will be released digitally as well as on limited edition double vinyl LP with extended mixes and a bonus track on May 27th; preorder the LP here.<\/span><\/p>\n
