Al Green
Get's Next To You
60s 70s Soul Funk Remastered edition on Fat Possum Al Green and producer Willie Mitchell established their classic sound with Green's second album 'Gets Next to You' The main difference is in the rhythm section Abandoning the gritty syncopations of deep Southern soul the Hi Rhythm Section plays it slow and seductive working a sultry steady pulse that Green exploits with his remarkable voice Alternating between Sam Cooke's croon and Otis Redding's shout Green develops his own distinctive style and 'Gets Next to Yo'u only touches the surface of its depth Although the album is filled with wonderful moments few are as astonishing as Green and Mitchell's reinterpretation of the Temptations' 'I Can't Get Next to You' which turns the original inside outLimited Light Green Vinyl
