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!
