Al Green - Gets Next To You LP

The follow up to Green Is Blues, Gets Next To You is the definitive masterpiece by the MITCHELL-GREEN LTD. Improving on the characterization of the trademark HI sound, WILLIE MITCHELL's decision to switch from the gritty syncopation of deep Southern soul to a slower and more seductive bass supports AL GREEN at the peak of his powers. There are no false steps here, as every single track on the album is a pillar of the genre, from the opening massive cover version of the Temptations' "I Can't Get Next To You," which is reinvented with a lethal dose of irresistible groove, to the perfect 1-2 pitch of "Tired Of Being Alone," followed by "I'm A Ram." If you're the romantic type , this one is for you.
