More generous than the 20-track The Very Best Of, Essential Bill Withers is a 34-track anthology that features all of Bill Withers‘ notable singles, along with other highlights from the singer’s albums for the Sussex and Columbia labels, from 71′s Just as I Am through 85′s Watching You Watching Me.
This is a fine and extensive introduction to Withers’ catalog, featuring “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean on Me,” “Use Me,” “Lovely Day,”, “The Same Love That Made Me Laugh.” and personal favorite "Better Off Dead". He also recorded scads of excellent deep album cuts that could not fit.
