Featuring Corey Glover (Galactic) on vocals, Roosevelt Collier (The Lee Boys) on lap steel/pedal steel, Yonrico Scott (Derek Trucks Band) on percussion, Dave Yoke (Susan Tedeschi Band) on guitar, Jared Stone (Stone’s Stew) on drums and Matt Slocum (Oteil & The Peacemakers) on piano, the New Stew will pay tribute to the legendary soul star and reimagine the influential recording in a live setting four decades after its release.

The album highlights some of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s most popular hits like “Use Me,” “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Lean On Me.” Withers‘ live record is still ranked by Rolling Stone as number 27 of the 50 Greatest Live Albums of All Time.
