Al Green - Call Me Album

Al Green’s Call Me album arguably set the standard for what we call Smooth Soul today. Green was the first soul singer of the 70s and gives us mournful, secular tunes like the heartbreaking "Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away,” as well as more religious-themed tunes like "Jesus Is Waiting," By doing so, he resolves the contradictions of between gospel and R & B all in the course of this one disc. Green may have been our last great soul singer with his sleek, sexy and powerful voice, accented with Memphis Horns and Al Jackson’s spirited drums. Green’s songs carry on like revival meetings and you’ll definitely find yourself screaming when he wants you to because he is the man!
