"As a boy growing up in the 70's, I was awash with a steady wave of Soul music from my mother's album collection. On Sundays, we would listen to all sorts of gospel music, but I recall one in particular that was my mom's favorite. It was "The Lord Will Make A Way" by Al Green. We wore that audio cassette tape out until it literally broke from overuse. We have been unable to replace it...until now. Some 30 years later, I found it here on Amazon.com.



Every tune here is a classic. From the title track, to the uplifting and upbeat tempo of "Saved", to my personal favorite, the captivating "I Have a Friend Above All Others". Mr. Green brought the same gut-wrenching emotion to his gospel music as he did his secular artistry. The haunting moans and falsettos acompanied by bluesy guitar riffs and organ grooves that were Al's signature style are all here. The result: music that you can truly feel, deep down inside. This is a must for any Al Green fan. My mom will be delighted that I found it again after all this time."
