Free Will (album)
''Free Will'' is the second studio album by American recording artist Gil Scott-Heron, released in August 1972 on Flying Dutchman Records. Recordings sessions for the album took place on March 2 and 3, 1972 at RCA Studios in New York City, and production was handled by producer Bob Thiele.〔 It is the follow-up to Scott-Heron's critically acclaimed studio debut, ''Pieces of a Man'' (1971), and it is the second album to feature him working with keyboardist Brian Jackson.〔 ''Free Will'' is also Scott-Heron's final studio album for Flying Dutchman.〔Bush, John. (Biography: Gil Scott-Heron ). Allmusic. Retrieved on 2008-07-09.〕 The album reissued on compact disc in 2001 by Bluebird Records.〔 In 2003, ''Free Will'' was reissued by BMG/Japan with alternative takes of eight tracks from the original album.
==Music==
''Free Will'' featured a format which divides the LP's two sides, musically. The first side is made up of five recordings done by Scott-Heron and the entire band, which once again featured Brian Jackson playing a major role as he did on the previous album, ''Pieces of a Man''.〔 Unlike that album, ''Free Will'' is shorter in length with tracks below the three and a half minute mark. The title track opens up the album with a meditation on personal responsibility. One of Scott-Heron's best known performances, "The Get out of the Ghetto Blues" is a moving ghetto warning and features bluesy instrumentation by pianist Brian Jackson and guitarist David Spinozza.〔 The second side functions more as a live rap session with Brian Jackson on flute and a couple of percussionists.〔 "Ain't No New Thing" emphasizes Scott-Heron's black pride, which he previously displayed on his debut album, by presenting an argument about the placement of black culture into the American mainstream:〔
"Wiggy" is a haiku-like appreciation of natural black hair.〔 The themes of police brutality, violence, and self-exploration are still present as they were on Scott-Heron's previous albums. "No Knock", a reference to a police policy whereby knocking is not required before entering a house, and "... And Then He Wrote Meditations", a tribute to John Coltrane, continue these themes.〔
