Bill Withers

I love Bill Withers. His music has been tearing me up lately. I grew up listening to soul music. I love Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Al Green. But something about Bill's consistent, driving, and smooth music is infectious. So much simpler and jazzier than many of his contemporaries. Here is a little taste of him. Also, any musician who is quoted saying,

"If you are looking through the window instead of looking in the mirror, then there is a certain amount of memory in there. And a certain amount of what comes out of you is just exploration."

is alright by me.
