Al Green - Lay It Down
When you think gospel you think of singers saying "praise the lord" or "hallelujah. But not Al Green. For me he is one of the best gospel singers but it seems in this album he turns away from his gospel roots and instead goes for a more traditional R&B/Soul feeling. It is still just as good as his previous work and he still has it.
Rating: Lyrics: 32/40 (Heartfelt and beautiful)
Tunefulness: 38/50 (Al's voice is still top notch and the production by ?uestlove is beautiful)
Originality: 5/10 (Like I said it is more traditional R&B than his previous yet still carry a sense of originality)
Overall: 75/100 (An accomplished career and a record thats just taking it easy)
