'Justments, Bill Withers' third studio album is
stunning! Undeniably masculine in his vocal
delivery yet Mr. Withers is still able to evoke
an emotional connection in his listeners that
is oh so very rare in the soul genre.
There is more studio polish on this album than
his previous two efforts but that in no way
detracts from his songwriting chops, the man is
a bona fide genius along with being one of the
coolest cats to ever grace the vinyl era.
Recorded in 1974 it was refreshing to see an
artist not riding the coat-tails of the monster
that was the disco explosion.
Funky, a little bit dirty, yet intimate and
strangely profound, this sums up Mr. Bill Withers.
We at monkmenagerie salute you, the world shines
a tiny bit less brightly without your music!
