Mobile Fidelity - Bill Withers - Live at Carnegie Hall

Easygoing portrait of down-home soul singer coming into his own, forging bond with audience

On par with the most treasured concert albums of the '60s and '70s, Bill Withers' transformative Live at Carnegie Hall is a forgotten classic — an easygoing portrait of a down-home soul artist coming into his own in front of an audience eager to share every moment of his brilliance. Soothing with subtlety, charming with calmness, and healing with a vocal timbre as relaxing as his grooves, Withers uses the stage to expand the range of favorites and engage in dialog with the crowd. Distinguished with sonics that restore the performances' balance and improve the soundstaging, this reissue takes you inside the venue.
