Product Description
Personnel: Bill Withers (vocals); Stephen Stills (vocals); Booker T. Jones (guitar, keyboards); Raymond Jackson (keyboards, wind); James Gadson, Jim Keltner, Al Jackson, Jr. (drums); Bobbye Hall (percussion).
One of the sacred texts of 1970s R&B (not to mention '70s pop), JUST AS I AM goes toe to toe with STILL BILL for the lofty position of being Bill Withers's best album. It features Withers's unique blend of pop, gospel, and soul, filtered through an acoustic-guitar-based singer/songwriter sensibility. The two big hits (the lovelorn "Ain't No Sunshine" and the bittersweet, nostalgic "Grandma's Hands") are staggering enough, but between striking reinventions of others' material (folkie Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'," the Beatles' "Let it Be") and lesser-known songs that nearly equal the smashes, JUST AS I AM is incredibly consistent, and captivating from beginning to end. Stack this one up alongside any classic Stevie or Marvin album as one of the milestones of the era. The Dualdisc version's second disc features all the tracks in 5.1 Surround Sound.
