:cool!

I have to say the gray hair makes him look distinguished. He's 72 now I think or 73 not sure lol

SoulAlive said:

You may be right, but we always said, "Like Bill Withers says, you gotta make 'justments." (without the 'A")

I've been listening to this CD all weekend. I think it is Bill's best album!! Every song is captivating,especially "Stories","Ruby Lee","Heartbreak Road","Can We Pretend" (written by his then-wife Denice Nicholas and featuring guitar by Jose Feliciano),"Liza" and "Make A Smile For Me".A strong,consistent album!! This remaster also includes excellent liner notes (16 pages!) by A.Scott Galloway....alot of interesting details!! I highly recommend this CD.

There's apparently an 'expanded edition' of the album coming out in April, too.

Seems to be available for pre-order in a bunch of places. Anyone know anything about whether it's the same remastered version? Or anything in general, say, about that label, that might tip us off (e.g. they're known for dodgy/fantastic reissues, etc)?

I got to admit to being blind to his work but the teaser to this documentary has got me regretting not know his work. (Beyond his hits.)

I have to plead ignorance to his entire catalog outside of the greatest hits as well, even though I really love his music. It's never too late to look for the other hidden gems that we weren't exposed to via radio.

it seems to be the recently released remastered version,but with 8 bonus tracks from the albums 'Making Music' (1975) and 'Naked And Warm' (1976).I'm gonna eventually buy those 2 albums anyway,so no need to buy this upcoming remaster.
