Description
It's not easy for me to explain the impact that music has had on my person. It's not easy for me to single out one artist that has influenced how I think about stories and song with the exception of Bill Withers. Listening to Bill Withers tell a story or sing a song for me is one and the same. It instantly attaches itself to my soul. Mr Withers told me in a roughly two hour conversation we had many things that (pardon the pun) lean on today. One of those nuggets of insight was to "tell the stories that make me feel most vulnerable, that's what people connect with". His story relates to my story. His songs relate to different points in time in my life, like no other as an artist, I hope to someday have an impact on, someone else's world, the way Mr. Withers has had an impact on mine. I hope that you enjoy the stories songs as much as I have over the years. These are some of my favorites not just because of the words or the story, but because of their attachment to my own personal story, I hope that I did the songs justice big love, Brother Bill Withers, and big love to you all.
"Kevin Burt digs dep into Bill Withers catalogue and turns his S.O.U.L hits (and misses) into a bunch of soulful, occasionally sleazy and heartbreaking Blues numbers that will wrench at your heart in a way you'd never imagine possible." The Rocking Magpie
