Color him genius

March 28th, 2010 in Soul by lpcoverlover | 2 Comments

Al Green’s 2nd album, 1969’s “Green is Blues.” His first on Hi Records and first time with co-writer/producer Willie Mitchell and the tight arrangements of Memphis’ renowned Hi Rhythm Section Includes a mix of a originals and great covers done with “The Memphis Sound.” “Talk to Me”; Smoky Robinson’s “My Girl”; the Box Tops’ “The Letter”; a funky James Brown-inspired “Get Back Baby”; the Beatles’ “Get Back”; and Gershwin’s “Summertime,” done with a slow, mellow stream as opposed to Billy Stewart’s rat-a-tat version from a few years earlier. This is a variation of the original cover, but a nice one that captures in the spotlight the glistening, clench-fisted soul of Green’s deep emotional delivery. “A young man who is a red hot rhythm and blues singer with a difference that is gonna be greatly dug by all who tune an ear to the variegated tones and shades of this album”. – Original liner notes, 1969.
