"I Can't Write Left-Handed" Video Review
John Legend's upcoming collaborative release with The Roots is not your average covers album. Aptly titled 'Wake Up!,' the album includes the oft-overlooked Bill Withers track 'I Can't Write Left-Handed,' Ernie Hines' 1970 classic 'Our Generation' and Donny Hathaway's 'Little Ghetto Boy.' When Legend sat down with The BoomBox in April, the singer-songwriter explained how he carefully plucked songs with depth in sound and lyrics. The video represents an in studio performance of John Legend and The Roots’ cover of Bill Withers’ 1973 original. Off their upcoming collaborative album, Wake Up!, which drops September 21st.
In the mentioned clip, Legend gives us a taste of the studio recording of Withers' 'I Can't Write Left-Handed.' Originally recorded in 1973 for the 'Ain't No Sunshine' singer's 'Live at Carnegie Hall' album, Withers places himself in the shoes of a Vietnam vet returning home without an arm after being shot in the shoulder.
