Album of the Week: Still Bill – The Soulful Brilliance of Bill Withers
Alright, music heads and soul lovers—it’s time to shine a light on one of the smoothest, most heartfelt R&B albums ever made. This week’s Album of the Week is none other than Bill Withers’ Still Bill (1972).
If you’ve been craving music that feels real—no gimmicks, no fluff—this record is your perfect soundtrack. Clocking in at just under 40 minutes, Still Bill is packed with soul, stories, and timeless grooves that hit just as hard today as they did 50 years ago.
Who Is Bill Withers, and Why Should You Care?
If you don’t know Bill Withers by name, trust us—you know his music. Bill worked factory jobs before becoming an R&B legend, dreaming big with his pen, guitar, and that golden voice. He broke onto the scene with tracks like “Ain’t No Sunshine” and quickly became the voice of soul music you didn’t know you needed.
By the time Still Bill dropped, Bill had found his stride—raw, relatable, and real.
The Tracks That Make Still Bill Essential
This album doesn’t play games. It’s soulful, funky, and filled with moments that stick. Here are the heavy hitters you need to know:
- “Lean on Me” – We’ll start with the song that’s basically a hug in musical form. Inspired by Bill’s close-knit community, “Lean on Me” became an anthem for friendship, love, and lifting each other up.
- “Use Me” – Funky bassline? Check. Addictive groove? Double check. Bill delivers this jam with a sly grin, singing about love that’s all kinds of wrong but feels oh-so-right. It’s impossible not to move to this one.
- “Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?” – Ever get that suspicious feeling about your significant other? Bill turned jealousy into a brooding, slow-burn masterpiece. It’s smooth, smoky, and unforgettable.
- Deep Cuts That Deserve Love – Don’t skip tracks like “Kissing My Love” (pure funk gold) or “Lonely Town, Lonely Street” (a soulful take on life’s rougher days).
Why This Album of the Week Is Your New Weekly Obsession
Here’s the thing about Still Bill: it’s timeless. Bill Withers doesn’t just sing to you—he sings for you. Whether you’re vibing to the funk of “Use Me” or belting out “Lean on Me” with your friends, this album has a little something for everyone.
