Still Bill

Product Information

My Monarch Sterling pressing doesn’t have the LH and I can only find it on Discogs on Terre Haute and Sonic pressings but only on side 2. It comes as little surprise that Kevin Rowland made this record one of his key texts during one of the most intense phases of Dexys Midnight Runners.

Do the vocals on the original sound as forward as the MoFi does at times, or is that offset by the low end?The soul-gospel hymn Lean on Me was inspired by the friendships Withers forged while working at the aircraft factory. It’s an identity couched in keeping it real, the very inclination that ultimately led Withers to retire in the mid-’80s rather than bend to industry pressures or risk credibility. Taking its title from Bill Withers' second album, this documentary builds a subtle, deeply human portrayal of an incredibly wise and honest individual. Looking back on "Lean on Me" years later, Withers said it seemed like "something that was there before I got here" – the kind of song that could be 100 or 10 years old, or one we encounter anew 10 years into the future.

This high level of songwriting is sustained throughout the record, making this probably his best record ever. Because he's still got it; Mobile Fidelity here reissue the album on its 50th Anniversary, doing thorough justice to the soul crooner's original album first released on the landmark Sussex Records in 1972.When he sang of hurt, the need for love and solidarity, you knew he was talking from first-hand experience.
