When we invited William Bell to the Tiny Desk, we looked
forward to witnessing part of a veteran soul hitmaker's journey
back to the spotlight. Bell is known for writing and performing
several of the R&B classics that emerged from Memphis' Stax
Records in the 1960s, "You Don't Miss Your Water" and
"Everybody Loves A Winner" among them. After decades away
from Stax ù and away from sizable record labels entirely - he
returned to his old label home earlier this year to release
This Is Where I Live. So we were ready to be won over by
Bell's rich, expressive voice and bandleader's charm; we
were prepared for emotionally dense songs that say a lot in
only a few words. We just didn't expect so much yellow.
Bell, who's 77 and now makes his home in Atlanta, worked
suavely through two new songs from This Is Where I Live.
The title track follows an autobiographical structure common
among soul singers of a certain age (see: Sharon Jones,
Charles Bradley, Aaron Neville). It narrates the story of
Bell's life in specific detail, from the first time he heard Sam
Cooke to the memorable hotel stay when he wrote "You
Don't Miss Your Water," the song that "took [him] all around
the world." And "The Three Of Me" is a love song of
measured regret, typical of earlier Bell ballads but for its
patina of time-worn wisdom.
To close his performance, Bell led the Total Package Band
through one of the most enduring songs he's written: the
blues standard "Born Under A Bad Sign," which has been
covered by folks like Cream and Koko Taylor since Albert
King first recorded it in 1967. When Bell's co-writer on the
song, Booker T. Jones, played it at the Tiny Desk in 2011,
his solo organ work lent the tune an appropriately eerie
cast. For Bell and company, though, "Bad Sign" became
a joyous, communal celebration. Nearly every member
of the 12-piece band took a chorus before settling into an
energetic vamp, their leader's grin as bright as his band's
T-shirts.
