Bill Withers: Live at Carnegie Hall


Bill Withers has always had a soft spot in my heart. A cassette of his, purchased at a gas station years prior, stayed in my car for years until the tape deck decided it wanted to spin no more. His message presented to you through a sound so welcoming it was hard not to pay attention. Decades after their release, his song will come on the radio and it is impossible to not turn it up. His music is something that anyone, even the ones who care the least about music, will know at least one of his songs. Withers' crystal clear voice often backed by a strong groove strikes a cord with people across the board. 

This record shows what the man and his band can do when they hit the fanciest of stages in 1972.
