Green's most satisfying album

"I certainly never expected that Green would produce an album that would top his earlier work, superb as much of it was. But I was more than pleasantly surprised. Several of the songs on this release are as good as his best and the album as a whole is the most solid he has ever created. There is not a weak moment or an inferior cut."
Second time buying this cd

"I bought this cd in 1998, and ended up losing it years later. However, after buying Lay it Down, I knew that I had to buy this again. I've had dozens of Al Green cds, and tapes, and literally this is one of my favorite. I'm an avid listener."
The door is NOW open for Al Green!

"This is a good CD which sets the stage for the Reverends next release. I've been a devoted fan of Al's Green's since the release of "BACK UP TRAIN" in 1967. And let me tell you this: This album will do for Al Green what "GET'S NEXT TO YOU" and "GREEN IS BLUES" did for him in '71 and '72, and we all know (or should know) what happened after that?! So watch out!! The door is now open, WIDE open. Al Green is about to come through as he did in 1972 and the years that followed; and of coarse I'll be waiting. I wouldn't miss this one for the world!! With "this" CD, I've at least assured myself of a front row seat."
