Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am ordering my 3rd or 4th copy of "Precious Lord" by Al Green; and, I (at least) consider myself somewhat of a music professional (hopefully with good reason)

Although Al has tons of good stuff, this recording is different in several distinct ways (THIS time, I am getting the CD; don't ask me why I have not done so before; in a hurry I guess)

This is the kind of album that you'll get and wear it out....then....let it rest and then do it again....and again.....and again......

Personally, I think that it shows the wonderful talent and transitional groove Al has AND, it seems to cross over where it NEEDS to......the LORD is blessed by this one and when THAT happens, no one that truly likes Gospel can criticize; at least they may not do so wholeheartedly!

And, sine this CD appears to be getting rather Limited in availability, I'd suggest folks get it now!

THANKS

Michael

This collection truly lifts up the Christian's spirit. It is a masterful blend of inspirational lyrics and artful instrumentality. To me, this album is an evergreen (Nwankama Nwankama). Lest I forget: I recommend it 100%.

This is a cassette (in 1985 )that my grandmother was listening to when she passed away in the hospital, I was a 9 years old. She used to play the cassette and sing the songs to me. This is a very spiritual CD that I highly recommend. In my opinion, this is Al Green's best! I love it! =)

Al Green sings straight to my heart and soul on this CD. It's been in my collection for years. Every time I play it I have to listen to the title song several times before going on to the rest.

The title song is so perfectly arranged: very upbeat with clear graceful backup vocals and rich instrumentation that drives but never overwhelms the Rev. Al's clear voice. That's pretty much true of every cut on the CD, the arrangements enrich but don't hijack these classic selections. It's a little festival of praise and joy right in my car or living room.

Al Green's performances radiate pure, heartfelt joy on this album. The music is inspired and uplifting. Clearly, Al Green is a man who gets sincere happiness from his relationship with the Messiah, Jesus.
