5.0 out of 5 stars Best collection of Al Green songs, ever!, September 28, 2000

This review is from: Take Me to the River (Audio CD)

This is the best Al Green anthology produced to date! Finally, there's "Strong As Death (Sweet As Love)" available. This particular track (originally recored in 1974, on the back of one of Al's hit tunes), really gives you Al at his best. So, for all of you true AL Green fans, check it out as you listen to this 2- CD set which is worth whatever price you pay for it! You won't be sorry. It should have been named "Al Green at his best." I should know because I have everything Al has come out with, both R&B and gospel!

This review is from: Take Me to the River (Audio CD)

This 2-CD set combines the best of Green's Hi years, peaking in the mid-70s, with live tracks, songs from later decades, and a few gospel sides. Used copies from Amazon Marketplace sellers are a very good value. Here's a full track listing:

I'm Glad You're Mine

What Am I Gonna Do With Myself?

Tired of Being Alone

I'm Still in Love With You

Let's Stay Together

I Tried to Tell Myself

Love and Happiness

You Ought to Be With Me

Look What You Done for Me

Here I Am (Come and Take Me)

Call Me (Come Back Home)

Livin' for You

L-O-V-E (Love)

How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?

Take Me to the River

Right Now, Right Now

So Good to Be Here [Live]

For the Good Times

I Can't Get Next to You

Let's Get Married

Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy) [Live]

God Blessed Our Love [Live]

Let It Shine

Lean on Me

Hangin' On

Strong as Death (Sweet as Love)

Nothing Takes the Place of You

The Spirit Might Come-On and On

There's No Way

5.0 out of 5 stars ...there's a goings-on goin' on..., August 16, 2001

This review is from: Take Me to the River (Audio CD)

...there are some shortcomings in the sound quality on a couple of songs and if you are a serious Al Green fan then you probably already own most of the material on this release, especially on disc 1, but come on now...THIS IS THE BEST COLLECTION OF HIS MATERIAL TO DATE!...you have the meat of most of his classics and the gravy of some of his lesser-knowns. HERE I AM (COME AND TAKE ME) is an ultimate slow-burner for me, PLUS: HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART? RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW? this album is butter!
