Green Is Blues

Al Green

A gritty, transitional soul record where Al Green’s baritone still carries the weight of the blues before his shift into silken falsetto pop-soul.

April 15, 1969 · Hi Records

Find on Amazon

A soulful, slightly gritty collection of mid-tempo grooves that balances romantic yearning with a blue, late-sixties optimism.
