Bill Withers: + 'Justments [Sussex, 1974]
Most of side two sounds like Roberta Flack, which disappoints me even though it probably doesn't surprise anyone else, Withers included. Well, I had my hopes for this man, but then, so did all the Roberta Flack fans, every one of whom must love "Lean on Me." Side one, I'm happy to report, begins with a nasty song to a trendy fox who wants Bill to see a shrink! Keep it up, Bill! and he does! Pretty much. For one side. Recommended, but barely. B+
