█ Al Green's "OK" With God █
█ █
█ R&B legend brings new album packed with "live power and █
█ energy" █
█ █
█ Al Green can't even visit his local drugstore without some █
█ guy showing him baby pictures and confiding that the █
█ youngsters were conceived to a soundtrack of his romantic █
█ R&B hits. █
█ █
█ But these days, Green - whose religious struggles once led █
█ him to abandon the soul mainstream for the ministry - █
█ doesn't mind hearing how his old songs have been used as █
█ get-busy music. █
█ █
█ "I hear that all the time: this is our first child, this is █
█ our second right here, we been married eighteen years," says █
█ Green, who'd just been accosted by a photo-wielding fan at a █
█ Memphis Walgreen's. "I don't know that I have to reconcile █
█ that with my spiritual beliefs. It's just about natural █
█ life, man. That's what it is." █
█ █
█ This newfound peace between the sexual and the sacred helped █
█ inspire Green's upcoming album, Everything's OK, due March █
█ 1st on Blue Note. The follow-up to 2003's well-received I █
█ Can't Stop, which reunited Green with his longtime producer █
█ and arranger Willie Mitchell for their first secular █
█ collaboration in almost two decades, Everything's OK finds █
█ Green comfortable with his dual roles as pastor and pop █
█ star. █
█ █
█ "I been in jail, I been drunk, I been sober, I been good, I █
█ been bad, I been right, I been wrong," recites the fifty- █
█ eight-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer in a preacher's █
█ rising cadences. "But when I look around today at the █
█ goodness of God, everything's OK." █
█ █
█ This includes his partnership with Mitchell, who helped █
█ craft signature Southern soul hits like "Let's Stay █
█ Together" and "Still In Love With You" for Green in the █
█ Seventies. When he rejoined Mitchell for I Can't Stop, Green █
█ says, the two mapped out a series of albums. "We talked █
█ about laying the foundation with I Can't Stop, and then █
█ going across that bridge with Everything's OK." █
█ █
█ The new outing features most of the same players as the last █
█ album, including guitarist Charles "Skip" Pitts and the █
█ eight-piece New Memphis Strings, who have a larger role this █
█ time around. And this record was once again recorded at █
█ Mitchell's legendary Royal Studios in Memphis, where Green's █
█ classic Seventies sides for Hi Records were tracked. █
█ █
█ What separates Everything's OK from its predecessor is that █
█ it was cut between breaks on his 2004 tour, and maintains █
█ "that live power and energy," Green says. "It gets down to █
█ the raw, to the real, to the quick Al Green. I think this is █
█ the place me and my band been trying to get to for about ten █
█ or fifteen years, and wasn't able to get to it." █
█ █
█ In concert, Green adds, none of his old material is off- █
█ limits now. He says his fans have always discerned the █
█ spiritual message inside his sexy singles. █
█ █
█ "Like 'Simply Beautiful' - it ain't all about the cleavage █
█ that I see with the clothes you wear. It's somethin' on the █
█ inside," he says. "I been singin' that too long for people █
█ not to know that." █
