Album artwork for Still Bill by Bill Withers

timely 180 gm vinyl reissue of the legendary soul folkie. it's rich, subtly layered music, but its best attribute is that it comes on easy, never sounding labored or overworked. in fact, it takes several spins of the album to realize just how versatile withers is on 'still bill', to hear how he makes intricate, funky rhythms sound as effortless and simple as the album's best-known song, the gospel-tinged inspirational anthem 'lean on me'. that's the genius behind withers' music: it's warm and easily accessible, but it has a depth and complexity that reveals itself over numerous plays. then there's the quality of the songwriting, which is as assured on the grooving 'lonely town, lonely street' as it is on the suspicious, paranoid 'who is he (and what is he to you)?' or 'use me', where he happily submits to being used by his object of affection.
