Kotori Mag made a video with RZA of Wu-Tang Clan discussing the making of “The Heart Gently Weeps.” The song features Dhani Harrison, John Frusciante, and Erykah Badu. RZA also mentions that the guitar that Dhani plays is a mint condition Gretsch from 1961 which was given to RZA as a gift from Russell Crowe after he finished filming “American Gangster” the movie that inspired a new Jay-Z album. You can also get the first legal download of the song from LOUD.com ([More →])
