Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Call Me is the masterpiece from America's last great soul singer, a vulnerable, sensual, spiritual, and sexy album. Sent soaring by the bluesy accents of the Memphis Horns and held to Earth by the rock-solid, wide-open groove of drummer Al Jackson, the subject here is nothing less than Green's soul, a battle expressed beautifully in his otherworldly voice--crying and praying on the title track, despairing on his cover of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," both bitter and resigned on his version of "Funny How Time Slips Away"--a voice as true as anything short of heaven. And on the closing "Jesus Is Waiting," we even get to hear that. --David Cantwell Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - (4.5 stars) Slightly monotonous but still first-rateAnother great album, though it might not be able to match its predecessor. The songs are all good and fine - the hit title track, another one of Al's smooth orchestrated soul songs; the mildly funky "Stand Up," the wonderful "Have You Been Making Out O.K.?," which has Al's voice in top form, the slightly menacing sexual energy of "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)," and "You Oughta Be with Me," which has one of Al's best melodies and a fine performance from guitarist Mabon Hodges; there are some interesting string arrangements in places ("Your Love is Like the Morning Sun"), and I even like the two country covers ("Funny How Time Slips Away," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry") because they don't sound a thing like country songs - instead, they're done ...

"Have You Been Making Out OK", "Funny How Time Slips Away", "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Jesus Is Waiting" are all ageless Soul masterpieces which helped strengthen Mr. Green's position as one of the premier R&B singers of his time. Even today, this CD provides a heartwarming, refreshing and soul-soothing listening experience. An all-time "Soul essential". Rating:  - Review of Al green cdCall me is good smooth r&B cd from the mid 70's and I enjoy it. Rating: - Pure Soul BlissOnce in a while you hear records that are great form start to finish. This one is a great example. There is a calmness on this recording that exudes from Al's voice and the backing band, while at the same time Al's voice has never been more passionate. I've always been a fan of his previous 'I'm still in love with you' for the same reason, but he takes it a few notches higher on this one. Beautiful Soul; if only the young heads out here now would do their homework, maybe soul music would be in a better place than it is today. Rating: - just a fine "Masterpiece of Soul"it's the original, it's remastered, it's Al Green's best. I count it to the "Masterpieces of Soul" |
