Bobby Womack ft. Gil Scott Heron - Stupid

I decided that for my first post, I would grab one of my more recent albums. 

So I'll start off by saying this: HOLY CRAP YES.

I'll admit it, I had no idea who Bobby Womack was until I heard him on the Gorillaz track "Stylo". So really, I have to thank Damon Albarn for opening my eyes to Womack's wonderful catalogue.

What initially made me want to get this album stems from Womack's work on the Gorillaz "Plastic Beach" album. First off, I went to a Gorillaz concert way back in October 2010 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. At that point in time he would have been sixty-six years old and had recently been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

He STILL had the best voice on that stage. That has to stand for something. 

An added bonus for this album was the fact that Damon Albarn helped produce "The Bravest Man In The Universe". So I figured it would be similar to what I had heard previously on "Plastic Beach".

It was hard to pick a standout track to record, so I picked the track that has the Gil Scott-Heron intro.

Gil is awesome too but I'll save that for another entry.

I suck at this. Here's an actual review, in case you're interested.

I guess I need to come up with some sort of rating system.

So I'll give this a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Does that make sense?

Whatever.

GO BUY IT.
