When 1970 Meets 2008
More proof that R&B has some life: Al Green, perhaps the greatest soul singer of the 1970’s, is getting together with Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson and James Poyser to release “Lay It Down”, a new album rooted in Green’s 70s soul heyday, but updated for here and now. The results seem to be promising…guests include John Legend, Corinne Bailey Rae and Anthony Hamilton (who always sounds like he came from that era). A preview of the album is here:
Oh man, I can’t wait.

I can’t wait for this album either. Did you hear the JL/Al track over on Soul Bounce today? I am feeling it!
I agree with what you said re: Anthony. JL captures that sound well too. My favorite track on Once and Again was “Slow Dance” which sounded like music our parents grinded to under the blue lights in the basement.
Tell me what you're thinking...
