Was listening to this track last nite, tryna find something to bring me up, now this a very very powerful song, with a Jimi hendrix influence, Ron even mentions Jimi towards the end. This is one soulful jawn with twists and turns that will have a true soulhead jumping up and down like a 3 year old throwing a tantrum at pick n pay. Heads might also know that this is a cover of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Ohio,” a song about the National Guard killings of four student protesters on May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. It appeared on the Isleys’ 1971 Givin’ It Back, done as a nine-minute medley with Hendrix’s “Machine Gun.” Ill try and get my hands on that Jimi track soon and put it out.
So without further deliberation, I present to u, OHIO by the Isley brothas. Enjoy!
