О релизе
Hailed by Mojo Magazine as one of 67 Lost Albums You Must Own, this Bill Withers album in now released on CD for the first time. It reached #7 on the R&B charts in 1974, spawning three singles including the Top 15 hit You. Remastered from the original Sussex analog masters.
„Back in March 2004 music magazine Mojo included Withers' fourth album on a list of '67 Lost Albums You Must Own.' Whether 'Justments is indeed the stuff of legend remains debatable. Surely no holy grail like the similarly mentioned Cold Fact by Sussex labelmate Sixto Rodriguez, it seems at least unfairly ignored. Nothing here might be as compelling as 'Grandma's Hands' or 'I Can't Write Left-Handed,' but there are plenty of melancholy reflections from a genuine soulman who came across more as a West coast singer/songwriter. Replacing the hired hands of his debut with former employees of Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band proved equally important in shaping Withers' identity. Not only had they been instrumental in creating a landmark with his second album Still Bill, follow-up Live at Carnegie Hall showed how easily they could replicate their unrestrained approach on-stage, performing quite a few tunes which hadn't yet appeared on a studio album. This experience further tightening a natural combination, the band was set for Withers' third studio album. The moody overtones of 'Justments suggest both band and singer might have suffered a bit from fatigue, a notion not altogether far-fetched since they would dissolve upon completing it. Not even Spanish minstrel José Feliciano could rescue a song like 'Railroad Man' from getting stuck in a not unpleasant but ultimately unrewarding jam mode. Still, a few gems are worth mentioning. The spine-tingling string sections for 'You' and 'Ruby Lee' for instance invoke the memory of Still Bill's intriguing 'Who Is He and What Is He to You.' The former would be released as a single and crack the Top 15 R&B chart, as would 'Heartbreak Road' and 'The Same Love That Made Me Laugh.' The demise of Sussex led to both the labels' catalog and Withers himself being transferred to Columbia. Though some of its feel would always shine through his releases for his new employer, 'Justments stands out for being the last album where the artist's unique character takes the foreground rather than being mostly left to drown in a glossy production. Thus, while its 'lost album' status is mostly due to it being out of print for ages, in a just world it would be re-released back to back with 1975's Making Music. This just might turn out historically interesting, as it would document Withers' evolution towards the guilty pleasure of 'Lovely Day.“ (Quint Kik, AMG)
