Recorded at Arrest studios in Washington in '76, 'Bow To the People' brought together songs from several of Theatre West's best known plays including 'Bow to the People', 'The System' and 'Black Love' and unflinchingly explored serious issues around drug addiction, mental health and cultural awareness. 'The whole idea of Bow to the People was to honour our black forefathers', explains Dillard. 'It was important to do that for the kids that didn't know'. Shelved following the original recording, the 'Bow to the People' album eventually surfaced on a limited CD on Black Fire in 1993. Now receiving its first full international release, the album features the previously unreleased tracks 'Man of Many Means' and 'I Don't Know Much About Love'.
