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. Live at Carnegie Hall is Withers only live album, recorded on October 6, 1973 but not released until April 21, 1973. The fact that Bill got to play his heartfelt and honest soul at one of the most prestigious venues for both classical and pop music speaks volumes: his frst two records Just As I Am and Still Bill were really that infuential. Withers here appears on stage with an ensemble of only the best session musicians the 1970s had to offer: Melvin Dunlap, Ray Jackson, James Gadson, Benorce Blackmon, and Bobbye Hall, at the time one of the few female session percussionists. They all had worked together on Still Bill and had the knack for expanding Bills intimate songs to ft a hall of that size and stature. And as far as the recording goes, no corners were cut; it really feels like youre up there with them. The set features evergreens such as Aint No Sunshine, Lean On Me, Grandmas Hands, but also tunes that are only available as part of this live set, such as World Keeps Going Around and I Cant Write Left-Handed. Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall is available as a limited edition of 5000 individually numbered copies on translucent magenta coloured vinyl and includes printed inner sleeves and a 4- page booklet featuring liner notes on Bill Withers written by Ahmir Questlove Thompson and refections by Aloe Blacc.
