MOG Editorial Review

Still Bill may contain Bill Withers' best-know hit, "Lean on Me," but each and every song on this 1972 landmark is well worth your time, and it's a far grittier effort than its feel-good single suggests. Playing guitar on many of the album's tracks in addition to singing, Withers created funky rifts on songs like "Lonely Town, Lonely Street" and "Use Me" that catapulted otherwise standard-sounding R&B songs into groovy, innovative territory. Elsewhere, Withers showed that he could pull off the sensitive singer-songwriter persona on "Let Me in Your Life," while "Who Is He (And What Is He To You?)" showed he could be as angry as he was gentle. Even if history might have caused "Lean on Me" to loom over the rest of Withers' career, a fresh listen to Still Bill today serves as a reminder that he had more versatility than he's given credit for.

All Music Guide

Bill Withers came into his own on his third album, Still Bill. Released in 1972, the record is a remarkable summation of a number of contemporary styles: the smooth soul coming out of Philly, smoky, late-night funk via Bobby Womack, bluesy Southern soul, and '70s singer/songwriterism. 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 -- and, given the sound and feel of the music, from the lush arrangements to his comforting voice, it's easy to want to play this again and again. 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. This high level of songwriting is sustained throughout the record, making this the greatest testament to his considerable gifts. [The 2003 reissue contains two bonus tracks from his Live at Carnegie Hall album.]
