Album Notes & Community Reviews

This collection draws on Al Green's Hi Records years with producer Willie Mitchell, the run of albums that made him the defining voice of Memphis soul in the 1970s. 'Let's Stay Together' and 'Tired of Being Alone' present his falsetto over Mitchell's tight rhythm arrangements.
