The Reverend Al Green has released his first new recording in nearly a
decade. The 72 year old soul legend has been working with producer Matt
Ross-Spring at the Sam Philips Studios in Memphis to create a new
version of the Freddie Fender song ‘Until The Next Teardrop Falls’. It’s
part of a new series of productions specially commissioned by Amazon
which also features William Bell, John Prine and Margo Price.
This new recording features some old friends of Al Green, including
Hammond B3 legend Charles Hodges. Matt Ross-Spring told NPR: "Charles is
the organ player on all the classic Al Green stuff and unbeknownst to
me they hadn't played together since the 1980s! The session was already
pretty special but their reunion (both musically and personally) was
very profound for everyone."
Green has been persuaded out of his semi-retirement for the project.
He rarely steps into the studio these days but is regularly seen
preaching at the Full Gospel Tabernacle – the Memphis church he founded
in 1976.
