My favorite singer of all time. Al is the truth...that dude inspired me or should I say is still inspiring me too be the man I want to be along with the almighty. That's my idol.
when James says that they wanted to keep Al's album "organic", he nails the essence of Al's singing. Al Green, like Aretha...is a "human sound effect". You dont have to enhance a damm thing. All you have to do is to stick a microphone in front of their mouths..sit your ass down behind the board..make sure that those strings, bass and organs are working in one accord...turn the lights on....and keep your mouth shut. I wish they would produce an album for Aretha...I really do.
Happy B-Day 2 U!! Much Love and may God keep you in his lovin arms of protection, and bless you with great heath in your up-comming years. Love You!!!
For those who havnt noiced. PLEASE CHECK OUT THOSE - melodic, harmonic chords and riffs ON THIS ALBUM. MR. SPANKY ALFORD DID A MARVELOUS JOB ON THE MAJORITY OF THE TUNES.
I'm back to comment to my own question.I did find info on his former wife,by accident(lol). His former wife is a gosple singer in Chicago,her name is Shirley Green.Also the daughter of his former wife sings,her name is Kora Kishe Green!!I was so supprised to know that his former wife and daughter were right in Chicago doing their own thang!!That's cool great success to both of them.His other daughter Deborah,is his backup singer.She really looks just like him.Love me some Al this whole cd is OMG
Is'nt it ironic that we've neva seen Al G. with niether one of his wives,girl friends etc.I mean not at any of his award tributes or anything.I mean this man is a sex machine women will do anything to get with him.But he lives a very private life.For some one whom has over 5 kids,you would think we would have seen pictures of kids,ex-wives,girlfriends or something.Well whateva I guess it's not meant for us to see anything else.If anyone have any info on family photos please post or emailme thanx
@bgw48, a girlfriend/groupie killed herself in front of him in the mid-1970s because he didn't want to marry her. That's why he retired from the R&B world and went into gospel.
I was always getting into a discussion of opposite perspectives (i.e. argument)with my dad over whose generation had/has the best music.... Well, after listening to this gentleman and a couple of others, I realise what he meant... And I agree with him.
The album is so unbelievably good! Definitely the best soul album of the 2008 and I don't think someone will come up with better songs. It is very pleasing to hear that soulaquarian sound because of poyser and questo and also that mellow and sweet al green vibe! Simply beautiful!!!
Dap-King horns!! ?uesto, you're the man. I just purchased the LP up in NY, and the song "You got the love I need", on the a-side skips!! I'm so frickin pissed! Does anyone else who owns the LP have the same problem?
i THANK AL FOR COMING BACK HE KNOW HES THE GOOD OL SAME AL GREEN MY IDOL TAKE ME BACK TO 1979 MY MOTHER ALWAYS PLAYED THIS MAN HERE NOW IM 38 I ALWAYS TO THIS DAY LOVE EVERY ALBUM HE MADE HE STILL LOOK THE SAME EVEN THOUGH HE GOTTEN OLDER HE LOOKS MIGHTY FINE MY FAVORITE LOVE AND HAPPINESS ECT MET THIS MAN IN PERSON IN 1986 AT A CHURCH REVIVIAL SHOOK HIS HAND MY RIGHT HAND
The most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I can't wait for him to come to Barcelona. I'll be there at the front watching my idol do what he knows best. I never believed he'd come back; the album has touched my soul.

You sound common, talking about hater, I dont know al green to hate him, why dont u use that common talk when its called for. And the are theories that suggest that is was made to look like a suicide. So why dont you take ur own advice, before u tell me whats what, loser.
I bought this album yesterday right after watching this. It really is some of his best work he's ever done, which is saying quite a lot. Matter of fact, he hasn't missed a beat since debuting on Blue Note a few years back. I mean, he's already 62 AND STILL HAS HIS VOICE INTACT! I think collaborating with some of my generation's more renowned R&B/Soul figures (I'm 26, btw) has really lit a creative fire under him this time out. I give it up to him and everyone involved in this project. Props!!!
Heard this album It is absolutely incredible I'm telling all my folks to buy 2 copies. Al is making me want to go out and make some babies. Peace to ?love and James.
I am such a deep fan of Rev. Al Green and of everyone who put together this intense labor of love. Every ounce of this album is steeped in the Hi Records/Willie Mitchell sound. It is truly a phenomenon that this record could have been what so many of us have long wished for and that it has not only not disappointed but far exceeded our expectations.
This is going to be special. Al Green is the best. Counting down the days to the release date. So glad this album has been made. It sounds wonderful! Thank you James Poyser and ?Love. Come on al green, you are the man!
Al Green is Back!!!! I heard the song with John Legend this morning on the radio and its FANTASTIC!!!! It sounds like old Al Green to, his essence hasnt been tampered with or watered down by main stream R&B.... this is real fall in love, make love, love me music... Go AL Green!!!!
