Editorial Reviews

Precious Lord, cut in Nashville with predominantly country musicians, won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Gospel Album. And 1983's Memphis-made I'll Rise Again still stands as perhaps Green's greatest Gospel music achievement to date. Both albums make their CD debut in an attractive package with a sleevenote by Blues and Soul Magazine writer Tony Rounce. Cream/Hi Records. 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb gospel music from Al Green, March 9, 2005

R&B legend Al Green also recorded some classic gospel music. This CD contains two of his best gospel albums. The first album on this CD, called Precious Lord, is one of my all-time favorite albums, for its spectacular joy, and truly uplifting music. Al Green is in a fantastic mood throughout the Precious Lord album, and the music is melodic and expertly performed. I'll Rise Again, the second album on this CD, also features some great music, especially: the cathartic and beautiful song Ocean Blue, the heartfelt Jesus is Coming (Back Again), and the genuinely moving I Close My Eyes and Smile. Al Green honors the Messiah Jesus with his sincere performances on both these albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rev. doing it the right way, October 11, 2006

This review is from: Precious Lord (Audio CD)

I've been a Al Green fan since I was 4 (not to make Rev. Feel old) Personally I think he sings gospel better than he does secular music. But His voice is timeless and ageless he will always be number 1 in my book and this album proves it. You can't help but listen as Al brings to you the very core of his heart, where it needs to be, in gospel music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Surprisingly Excellent, December 13, 2008

This review is from: Precious Lord (Audio CD)

This is a collection of some of the best gospel music productions I've come across, listened or owned: in two CDs. I have already written my review of the first one - Precious Lord, calling it an "evergreen." The second one - I'll Rise Again (especially, Ocean Blue, I'll Rise Again, Straighten Out Your Life and Look at the Things that God Made) truly inspires me as well as encourages me in my difficult life's struggles. It's assuring, reminding us that God will win the final victory in our lives if we give Him a chance (Nwankama Nwankama).
