• If theres ever been a soul singer who deserves to be called on to provide mood music for romantic interludes, its Al Green. With his ringing falsetto, impassioned phrasing, and killer arrangements by famed Hi Records producer Willie Mitchell, Greens LOVE SONGS COLLECTION merits a special place on your shelf. All the great songs are here: the simmering "Call Me (Come Back Home)," cool and loose "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)," yearning "Lets Stay Together," and sassy "Love And Happiness." Although most of these songs were either written or co-written by Green, theres also a number of notable covers including a restrained interpretation of Kris Kristoffersons "For The Good Times" and a version of the Bee Gees "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" that aches with hurt.
