Brown's follow-up to his debut, continuing in a similar vein of jazz-rooted storytelling with original songs that touched on everyday life, social themes, and character sketches. The album keeps the same sharp lyrical voice that defined his early Columbia work.
All of Between Heaven And HellOscar Brown Jr.
Oscar Brown Jr. was a singer, songwriter, poet, and activist from Chicago's South Side, born in 1926. His work sat at the intersection of jazz and social commentary, and he wrote original lyrics to existing jazz instrumentals in a way that influenced vocalists who came after him. He is considered an early voice of political consciousness in Black American music, predating much of what would later surface in soul, funk, and hip-hop.
