John Legend is a brother to the blues on this cover of ‘I Can’t Write Left-Handed‘ originally done by Bill Withers. This cover is just as sincere and spot-on as the ’73 original. The video captures the in-studio performance of the track with some AWESOME instrumentation from The Roots. I’ve always respected both Legend and The Roots so I’m anticipating some immaculate music with their collaborative album when it drops in a few weeks.
That album, Wake Up! is set for release on September 21 and also features ‘Wake Up Everybody’ which also features Melanie Fiona and Common (watch here).
Sound-Savvy Says: Dagnabbit! This song shoots you right in the soul… GREAT.DAMN.MUSIC!
