Description
Bill Withers was a modest, gentle, and yet towering musical fgure responsible for some of the most important, universally known soul hits ever written Its no wonder that Just the Two of Us and Aint No Sunshine won him two Grammy awards and undoubtedly played a huge role in getting him inducted into both the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Still Bill is Withers third studio album and continues to showcase his remarkable versatility, touching upon smooth Philly soul, funk, blues and 70s folk slash singer/ songwriter. Upon release the record was both a commercial and critical success and is considered a landmark 1970s R&B record. It features the hit singles Lean on Me and Use Me, as well as Who Is He (And What Is He to You)? appearing on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantinos Jackie Brown. Unsurprisingly, next to Just As I Am, this record also made it into Rolling Stones list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, coming in at #333. This edition includes booklet featuring a refective essay on Bill Withers written by Grammy-nominated poet, journalist and humanitarian Kevin Powell.
Still Bill is available as a limited edition of 7500 individually numbered copies on translucent green coloured vinyl.
