Gulf Coast Records
Producer: Kevin Burt
The award-winning Burt can weave a tale that richly resonates genuine and authentic. Hence, his tribute to one of the greatest soulful storytellers in R&B/pop music is a perfect fit. Bill Withers’ classics like “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Lean on Me” get an added blues bonus in the way Burt and his band boil the songs down to their essence. There’s a welcome inclusion of deep cuts, too, like “Let Us Love” and “I’m Her Daddy.”
