Bill Withers - Still Bill - Hybrid SACD/Individually Numbered - CD

As it turns the corner on it's 50th anniversary, Bill Withers' Still Bill remains true to it's title - and stands as the greatest malefronted soul album not made by a singer named Marvin, Al, Sam, James, or Ray. Though the saying 'keeping it real' did not exist in popular parlance when Withers released his sophomore effort, no words better capture the music's approach, mindset, and value. Every facet of Still Bill radiates honesty, truth, and emotion. These characteristics - along with hybrid folk-funk-R&B arrangements, deceptively simple songwriting, and invigorating rhythms - have allowed the album to endure to the point where it sounds as fresh today as in 1972.
