I feel even more guilty now that I didn't check out last years critically acclaimed album 'I'm New Here'.

I hope you've checked it out now! It's not as good as some of his older work, obviously, but I think it is great.

I have heard Gil-Scott Heron - "Me and the devil" yesterday. My mind got blown. Ordered most of his albums almost instantly. I admire most of his tunes yet i believe "Me and the devil" is unique compared to rest of his songs (stylewise).

Here is a question:
- How can you define (by genre) "Me and the devil"
- Do you know any tunes, simmilar in style, to "Me and the devil".

I should have posted this yesterday but it's a good Father's Day tune.
