It's not the first Al Green album after his comeback, but it really rocks! Mind that he is one of the greatest soul singers who chose not to perform for many years. For thouse who love Al Green from the 70's would be really happy to get this album - it's a total gift from the master! For thouse who are just discovering soul music - it could be perfect intro to the style and the singer. This album sounds contemporary, but it comes more from the production values. Otherwise, it is really rooted in the traditional soul - the same type of stuff, Al Green was so well at many years ago. His voice is as sensual as it was, the themes are the same, the music is strong. And the track number 4 - "No one like you" - to my mind is one of the best Al Green songs in his whole career!
This is an ok album and its a good background album if entertaining, like a dinner party etc. I bought this for my husband because we'd seen Al Green on the Jools Holland program and I know we both said that album might be good as Al Green has got such a great voice. Well it is ok but I think its not the sort of album you'd have in your car for long, as I say its more background dinner party music, if you want something on and easy listening then this albums for you. I will be keeping it for that reason...not that we have dinner party's but is great for when you are cooking soup!!
Enjoyed this CD. I saw Al Green in concert when he came to Edinburgh's Playhouse last year and he was excellent. This CD is good however there are no really outstanding tracks which would be good enough for single releases on it. If you like Al's very laid back and individual style you will enjoy this.
