 Rating: - A top 10 album in anyone's collectionI by in large listen to hard rock and metal but this LP is so good that I would truly put it in my top 10 favorite CD's of all tiime. You can't be a music fan with out this release. Rating: - PLEASE CONTINUEAl Green's 3rd album. The one that gave us the joke 'I tried to call you, Honey, but I don't have your phone number.' You just got to hear it. Genius at its zenith. A must have. Rating: - Al Greens second albumAl Green always had his own nice & distinctive style back in the day. For his second album, 1970s 'Al Green Gets Next To You', he brings a flavour that might surprise a lot of people. Yes this album contains his awesome classic 'Tired Of Being Alone', but the other nine cuts here are of a hard edged fonk nature, with gritty vocals & dusty bass lines and riffs. the album kicks off with the heavy hitting Temptations cover 'I Can't Get Next To You', and also has a refreshing and quirky interpretation of 'Light My fire'. My personal cut has to be the demented Taurus dedication 'I'm A Ram' which rides the craziest bass line. Overall the whole vibe of the album is some ole fashioned Rhythm & Blues with no small sprinkling of ... Read More: Rating: - I don't leave home without it .... !Do you like Al Green? Any other artists on Hi Records from that golden era of Willie Mitchell-produced music? Do you like the sounds of Stax Records? Like southern Soul or Funk or R&B? This is the album to get if: a) you wish Al Green didn't get into the mushy love songs b) you like the mushy stuff but want to hear the Reverend a bit more down-home Something that stands out to me on my all-time favourite Al Green album is the re-invention of songs: 'I Can't Get Next You' is pretty far removed from the Temptations' original , 'Driving Wheel' isn't a Blues shuffle anymore, and did Jim Morrison have any idea of what could be done with 'Light My Fire'? Regardless of whether each song is a cover, or one that ... Read More: Rating: - Southern funk side of Green and the bandAl Green is one of the premier southern R&B singers and you've probably heard some of his stuff if you're reading this review. This album is strong because it shows off the blues/funk side of Al Green. Of course, "Can't Get Next To You" and "Tired of Being Alone" are strong, as they are also on the Greatest Hits CD. The playing of the band on some of the other album tracks makes this one worth picking up. "I'm a Ram" is southern funk with the organ and the drums offering some breakbeat worthy stuff. Other tunes show off the fat pocket that gave Al Green the perfect context for his amazing talent. "Light My Fire" is a surprising choice to me, but it works real well, pretty much neglecting the verse so that Al can preach on the bridge. All ... Read More: |
