Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Following up Let's Stay Together, this is one of Green's greatest long-players. Southern soul's most eccentric stylist never sang more sensuously than he did on "Simply Beautiful", or on the six-and-a-half-minute country-soul meditation that is Kris Kristofferson's "For The Good Times". Nor did the Hi house band sound more crisply funky than on mid-tempo beauties like the title track, "Love and Happiness" or "Look What You Done For Me". As rough-hewn as it is, the sound Green and his producer Willie Mitchell craft is still mighty hard to beat. --Barney Hoskyns
CD Description
There are few perfect records in the world, but Al Green's I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU may be one of them. Backed by producer Willie Mitchell's phenomenal stable of musicians, including drummer Al Jackson and the three Hodges brothers, Green reached deep into his soul to pull out one of the finest recordings of his (and, arguably, anyone else's) career. The opening title track is classic Green, with staccato punctuation from the Memphis Horns and Jackson's relaxed, syncopateddrum pattern setting the stage for the singer's luxurious, silk-voiced expressions of devotion.
The drums and slinkyorgan riff that kick off "So Glad You're Mine" are irresistible, while the inventive chord progression and infectious call and response section help make "Love And Happiness" one of the singer's finest moments. Continuing his tradition of turning unlikely outside material into gorgeous R&B, Green works his soulful magic on Kris Kristofferson's ballad "For The Good Times" and Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman". The high point comes with "Simply Beautiful", an aptly titled tune thatfinds Green weaving his ethereal falsetto in and around a hypnotic groove with a grace that justifies his reputation asthe king of R&B crooners. In truth, I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU is almost too good to believe. Not incidentally, it set the standard for the next 20-plus years of R&B music.
