Al Green - Gets Next To You - Pure Pleasure LP

180-Gram Vinyl, Pure Pleasure Reissue

With his second album, Gets Next to You, Al Green and producer Willie Mitchell established their classic sound. Abandoning the gritty syncopations of deep Southern soul, the Hi Rhythm Section plays it slow and seductive, working a sultry, steady pulse that Green exploits with his remarkable voice. Alternating between Sam Cooke's croon and Otis Redding's shout, Green develops his own distinctive style — never more astonishingly than on his inside-out reinterpretation of the Temptations' "I Can't Get Next to You."
