Live At Carnegie Hall | Indie Exclusive Rsd Essentials

A wonderful live album that capitalizes on Withers' trademark melancholy soul sound while expanding the music to fit the room granted by a live show. Lovely versions of 'Grandma's Hands' and 'Lean on Me' are balanced by heartfelt downbeat numbers like 'Better Off Dead' and 'I Can't Write Left-Handed,' the latter being an anti-war song with a chilling message. The set finishes off with the lengthy 'Harlem/Cold Baloney,' with lots of audience-pleased call-and-response going on. One of the best live releases from the '70s.
