Album Review: Everything's OK by Al Green
Very Good, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 8/10
Al Green's second record for Blue Note reunites the same cast of characters who made his comeback disc, 2003's I Can't Stop, such a success. Willie Mitchell is behind the boards, the cream of old-school Hi musicians is here, and Green hasn't lost a step vocally. In fact, it sounds like he has gained a step somehow; his crazed screams, hollered interjections, and whoops of joy seem more assured and his falsetto is clear and strong.
Based on rating 3/5
Al Green returns with another helping of sweet southern soul. But this time he's taking the pulpit with him. Having re-established his partnership with producer Willie Mitchell on 2002's I Can't Stop, now he's letting his religious Dr Jekyll get down with his funky Mr Hyde in the first secular album released under his Reverend guise. This is classic Green.
