You CAN Go Home Again
We have all been disappointed by artists who have been out of the limelight for some years and then gone back to record a new LP, trying to recapture their old sound. Almost always a failure.
A couple of moths ago, I bought Al Green's "I Can't Stop". Having recently moved, I jsut got it cleaned up and on the platter over the weekend. If you like Soul/R&B, it is a must buy. I'm telling you, it is like going back in time. Written and recorded in 2003, this one sounds like it was done in the early-70's. His reunion with Willie Mitchell (ON BLUE NOTE) is a keeper and in the finest tradition of the Memphis Soul Sound.
Anyone have any recent similar experiences such as this with an old-timer capturing old-glory?
