Editorial Reviews
Welcome to the Playlist series. Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists' complete body of work. We've fished through hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.
You’ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3's that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did.

Anthology PLUS!,

This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Bill Withers (Audio CD)
Bill Withers' brief time in the spotlight as a recording artist resulted in several timeless albums and songs that have become standards - "Grandma's Hands", "Lean on Me", "Harlem"," Ain't No Sunshine" and the list goes on. The present CD, Playlist includes some rarer tracks from the "+ Justments" album, that have never been released on CD. The blogs ask the question "why"? and it remains a mystery as to why Legacy have overlooked this gem (similar questions can be asked as to why Tyrone Davis' output on Columbia is represented by 2 CDs, differing by 1 track between them). In any event, in the absence of a CD of "+ Justments" the two tracks presented (out of a total of 10 on vinyl) are a welcome addition to the Bill Withers' CD catalog.
There were rumors last year that Joe Henry was trying to coax Mr. Withers back into the studio - and we can all hope that this might eventually happen given Mr. Henry's work with Solomon Burke.

great collection,
This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Bill Withers (Audio CD)
Bill Withers just got right when it comes to words and music. he nailed harmony,hurt and heart all at once. his music dealt directly and reflected so much without being over-produced. he truly made you feel where he was coming from. a very important versatile story teller.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great collection from a true original,

This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Bill Withers (Audio CD)
I've never stopped listening to Bill Withers since I first heard him at age 7. His songs, music, and voice are woven into the tapestry of my memories. Recently caught the wonderfully insightful documentary, STILL BILL, on Netflix. This collection, linked from his website http://www.billwithers.com, is a great accompaniment to the film. My only complaint is: it doesn't include "Lovely Day".
