About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Al Green reached his creative peak with the brilliant Call Me, the most inventive and assured album of his career. So silky and fluid as to sound almost effortless, Green's vocals revel in the lush strings and evocative horns of Willie Mitchell's superbly intimate production, barely rising above an angelic whisper for the gossamer "Have You Been Making Out O.K.." With barely perceptible changes in mood, Call Me covers remarkable ground, spanning from "Stand Up" -- a call to arms delivered with characteristic understatement -- to renditions of Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away," both of them exemplary fusions of country and soul. Equally compelling are the album's three Top Ten hits -- "You Ought to Be With Me," "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)," and the shimmering title cut. A classic. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

February 25, 2004: Everyone is familiar with "Call Me""Here I Am" etc...But I remember watching Soul Train back in the day.Al Green had a broken arm but he did "Jesus Is Waiting" Live on Soul Train and I bought the album within 1/2hour.Jesus Is Waitng is Al Green's most underated cut of his career.The whole album is bad.

January 22, 2004: Mr.Green sums up his incredible sound in this one album. Words can't describe his gift; so I won't try. Just listen to this album.
