Bill Withers Naked and Warm (1LP Coloured) Pre Order 27/11/2026

A richly textured and quietly adventurous chapter in Bill Withers’ catalogue, *Naked & Warm* finds him transitioning from the earthy Sussex era into a smoother, jazz‑inflected Columbia sound. Released in 1976 as his fifth studio album, it blends warm soul, synthesised funk vamps and introspective songwriting, highlighted by the singles Close To Me and If I Didn’t Mean You Well. The centrepiece, City Of The Angels, stretches into an expansive cosmic groove featuring soul‑jazz icon Dorothy Ashby on harp. This 50th anniversary edition is pressed on translucent blue vinyl and includes a 4‑page booklet with lyrics and new liner notes by Marcia Withers.
