Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Call Me is the masterpiece from America's last great soul singer, a vulnerable, sensual, spiritual, and sexy album. Sent soaring by the bluesy accents of the Memphis Horns and held to Earth by the rock-solid, wide-open groove of drummer Al Jackson, the subject here is nothing less than Green's soul, a battle expressed beautifully in his otherworldly voice--crying and praying on the title track, despairing on his cover of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", both bitter and resigned on his version of "Funny How Time Slips Away"--a voice as true as anything short of heaven. And on the closing "Jesus Is Waiting", we even get to hear that. --David Cantwell

4.0 out of 5 stars Call him 21 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
A truly wonderful album, probably Al Green's finest, containing as it does three of his very best songs - the title track, "You Ought To Be With Me" and "Here I Am (Come And Take Me)". As if that wasn't enough, he finds time to cover Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away", giving the record a bit of a country dimension.

The impeccable Hi sound (one of the most gorgeous sounds in pop music) is in place as always, and the lush strings, funky guitar and organ fills, and rock-solid backbeat give the Reverend the perfect launch pad from which to soar. Pain never sounded so wonderful or soothing as it does when articulated by Al Green.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime 3 Feb 2009
By Andy Edwards TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
By the time this album was released, the Al Green/Willie Mithell double act was honed to something close to Soul perfection. Mitchell and his production harnessed Green's ability to go from smooth and subtle to raw and impassioned in a heartbeat and took him to superstardom at a time when Soul ruled the airwaves.

"Call Me" featured 3 hit singles "You Ought To Be With Me", "Here I Am" and the title track, but it is also notable for Al's reading of Country music's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Funny How Time Slips Away", both superb interpretations. Other than those, Green was involved in writing the rest of the tracks, demonstrating the rich vein of creativity he had found in the early '70's.

Although the previous "white" album is my personal favourite, this runs it close - spare production, wonderful vocals and songs which have stood the test of time. You should have this in your collection if you are any kind of Soul music fan - or better yet get it on a 4 album set of all Al's Hi albums, so you can enjoy more for your money
