EXTENDED CUT - The SECRET to Bill Withers’ “Lightning in a Bottle” Groove

Comments

Awesome episode! I kinda was waiting for you to drop the Cold Blood version that Gaylord Birch played on cuz it's sick too and just Gadson's juiced... but I get you are celebrating the Gadson, and I can't blame you for that

The use of it by Dr Dre for "Let Me Ride" and by Eric B and Rakim for "In the Ghetto" are especially interesting because it becomes a transplanted rhythm bed for completely different source melodies (Dre using Mothership Connection from Parliament & the other using that 24k Black song). Each use functions like a DJ blend!

Brian Nicholson

Happy to have you here 🔥

Love the extended versions. It's great hearing more of the songs!

Mark McCubbin

That album has SO many classics, it’s insane it’s not a Best Of

Brandon Shaw

Love it! I’m wondering what treasures you can find on ‘bill withers - use me’.

Jeremy van Bedijk

Watching you being able to stretch your legs on vids is so worth the 17 cents a day 😆

Crazy connection I forgot during filming: “Express Yourself” was sampled for the NWA song of the same name - and Charles Wright is Eazy E’s Father 🤯
