Backed by the tighter-than-tight rhythm section of bassist Melvin Dunlap and drummer James Gadson, Withers blends deep, mid-70s funk grooves with jazz-flecked instrumentation, featuring exquisite guest spots from José Feliciano on guitar and Dorothy Ashby on harp. The production trades the grand orchestration of contemporary Motown releases for an intimate, dust-caked bedroom-soul aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,3\"\u003eBeyond the charting, melancholic lead single 'The Same Love That Made Me Laugh', the album is highly revered by hip-hop producers and crate-diggers alike for its incredible sample material. From the deep, driving basslines of 'You' and 'Railroad Man' to the sublime, two-stepping magic of 'Can We Pretend', this LP is an essential, highly rewarding piece of vinyl for any serious soul or funk purist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTrack Highlights:\u003c\/b\u003e 'You', 'The Same Love That Made Me Laugh', 'Can We Pretend', 'Railroad Man'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bill Withers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53592114102615,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8083\/4391\/files\/CS519074-01A-BIG.jpg?v=1779125383","url":"https:\/\/goodcuplondon.com\/products\/justments","provider":"Goodcup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
