Al Green - Lay it Down
Al Green, Baptist preacher and music legend, is a true savior. I once witnessed him bring a New Orleans festival audience to its feet—and make the sun come out—after James Brown bummed out everyone with a poor performance on an overcast day. Here, Green works similar miracles. First, he performs duets with John Legend and Corinne Bailey Rae, showing the young whippersnappers how it’s done. Then he delivers showstoppers like “Too Much” and “All I Need” that amount to classic soul sermons. Hallelujah.
