Tracks list

In a short time, Al Green became a premier singer in R&B and pop. With songs
like Look What Youve Done for Me and Here I Am (Come and Take Me), among many
others, Green and producer Willie Mitchell refined the sounds of each genre. As
Al Green Explores Your Mind was the peak of Greens insouciance, Al Green Is Love
finds a starker reality -- the majority of the tracks here are ruminative but
not always coherent. The first track, the propulsive L-O-V-E (Love), would be
even more believable if Green didnt sound so ambivalent. Other up-tempo tracks,
I Gotta Be More and Rhymes, are edgy and dark, with great riffs from guitarist
Mabon Hodges. The heart of Al Green Is Love is the ballads, though Greens not
very happy, and those looking for heartwarming thoughts on romance wont find it
here. The Love Sermon and, even better, I Didnt Know are spare, dirge-like songs
that give Green great opportunities to turn in raw and emotional performances. I
Wish You Were Here and Could I Be the One have producer Willie Mitchell offering
suitably bleak arrangements to go with Greens airy vocals. The best track here,
There Is Love, strikes a balance between the customary production grace and the
albums pervading sorrow. Al Green Is Love might be too depressing for some, but
his fans will find Greens truthfulness appealing and some of the songs among his
best.
