It was a great buy I really enjoy listen to his music and the cd has a lot of the song that i like.
Not Surprisingly Excellent
I have already written my review of the first one - Precious Lord, calling it an "evergreen. This is a collection of some of the best gospel music productions I've come across, listened or owned: in two CDs. " The second one - I'll Rise Again (especially, Ocean Blue, I'll Rise Again, Straighten Out Your Life and Look at the Things that God Made) truly inspires me as well as encourages me in my difficult life's struggles. It's assuring, reminding us that God will win the final victory in our lives if we give Him a chance (Nwankama Nwankama).
The Rev. doing it the right way
Feel old) Personally I think he sings gospel better than he does secular music. I've been a Al Green fan since I was 4 (not to make Rev. But His voice is timeless and ageless he will always be number 1 in my book and this album proves it. You can't help but listen as Al brings to you the very core of his heart, where it needs to be, in gospel music.
Superb gospel music from Al Green
This CD contains two of his best gospel albums. R&B legend Al Green also recorded some classic gospel music. The first album on this CD, called Precious Lord, is one of my all-time favorite albums, for its spectacular joy, and truly uplifting music. Al Green is in a fantastic mood throughout the Precious Lord album, and the music is melodic and expertly performed. I'll Rise Again, the second album on this CD, also features some great music, especially: the cathartic and beautiful song Ocean Blue, the heartfelt Jesus is Coming (Back Again), and the genuinely moving I Close My Eyes and Smile. Al Green honors the Messiah Jesus with his sincere performances on both these albums.
Insipid
Al's commercial arranger declined following him into the gospel world, citing no experience. It's a good thing Al Green came out commericial first because I never would have gotten this tape without thinking it was going to be as soulful as his "in his world" days. So, Al uses the commercial arrangements for the old gospel favorites and it sounds insipid.
