Description
DESCRIPTION
Nine CD set features all nine albums which the poet laureate of Slab Fork, West Virginia released in his bold, beautiful, brilliant but short-lived recording career. Right from the opening acoustic strum of "Harlem" on his fabulous debut album Just As I Am and onto the gutsy pump of "Lonely Town, Lonely Street" which opens the equally brilliant follow up LP Still Bill, the sound quality is truly glorious throughout. The live double album Carnegie Hall - like Donny Hathaway's Live from 1972 - has garnished a legendary reputation amongst soul aficionados. All the albums are remastered from the original analog tapes. Includes the hit-singles "Ain't No Sunshine", "Lean On Me" and "Lovely Day".
