Al Green's 2nd album, 1970's Green Is Blues is a nice mix of stylish covers and a couple originals. The Right Stuff label has reissued this Hi release with a 4 bonus tracks, remastering and doing a nice job technically with this release. Talk to Me has Green's swinging soul groove that is sure to set your hips in motion. Green's cover of Smoky Robinson's My Girl is a soft gentle rendition, then the horns come in to punch up the mix. The Letter is a slow smoker as Green milks his romantic longing. Green's funky James Brown-inspired Get Back Baby comes before his pulsing version of the Beatles' Get Back. The original release ended with Gershwin's Summertime that Green takes into a slow mellow stream as opposed to the popular Billy Stewart version from that same era. Of the bonus tracks, the Beatles' I Want to Hold Your Hand becomes a churning soul kitchen of desire & Chuck Berry's Memphis, Tennessee is likewise a tad slower, stirred by some tasty lead guitar. Green Is Blues is a great soul CD that sounds good 35 years after its original release. Enjoy!
