Still Bill

Product Information

However, out of the three audiophile Bill Withers albums I have ("Just As I Am," Speakers corner and "+'Justments," Vinyl Me Please), this one is the loser of the bunch. This audiophile demonstration album contains 13 tracks which were recorded with 50 year old Neumann valve microphones. Carrying on the folk-ish spontaneity of his compositions, on this record the songs get funkier, and thus juicier.

No track better exemplifies those principles than “Lean on Me,” a feel-good paean to brotherhood and community that hit No. At least that's the way it seems, but reading the liner notes really made it clear that the path for the 30 y/o aircraft fitter was anything but easy, even after the success of the first BW album. After rising into the Top 5 of the Billboard Album charts and attaining gold status within a year of release, Still Bill has long been evaluated not by sales – but according to its merit, spirit, and agelessness. Featuring Use Me and Lean on Me, it also includes one of the great opining verses for a song: 'A man we passed just tried to stare me down, when I looked at you, you looked at the ground.Its accessibility notwithstanding, "Still Bill" has a depth and complexity that may take several spins before the listener picks up on it.

Do the vocals on the original sound as forward as the MoFi does at times, or is that offset by the low end? These are shades-of-gray stories, full of a mature understanding of human nature", Moon observed, before concluding that, "even when reflecting on weighty matters, Withers cultivates a mood of unflappable calm, making everything sound like a lazy summer evening on the front porch.My only minor niggle is that a cd that is in a cardboard sleeve maybe could do with being sent out in sturdier packaging.

I did a comparison to USE ME and LEAN ON ME on the Greatest Hits from Mofi and those two tracks are much more dynamic with more bass and really just sound warmer and more appealing to me on the Greatest Hits album. Had high expectations considering Bill Withers Live album and the Greatest Hits are some of the best things MOFI has done.
