Album Review
Al Green's Greatest Hits was first released in 1975 and has gone through several incarnations since then. Each successive edition has improved on the one preceding it, and though it is a little irritating that Definitive Greatest Hits (despite a slightly different title, it is the latest variation) follows its predecessor by only a year-and-a-half, it does make further improvements with the addition of six tracks. Given the greatness of Al Green's catalog, the title could expand to three or even four discs of highlights and only increase in value. Most of the expected classics -- including "Let's Stay Together," "Tired of Being Alone," "I'm Still in Love with You," and "Call Me" -- are here, along with a handful of welcome additions, from 1967's "Back Up Train" to 2004's "I Can't Stop." This is not just a fantastic introduction to a legend, or even soul music. It's a fantastic introduction to recorded sound. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide Releases

"Tired Of Being Alone" is my favorite Al Green song.I have fond memories of hearing it alot as a child.It was a favorite in our household.I also rememeber that 1975 'Greatest Hits' album (pictured above)...it contains the long version of "Let's Stay Together",which I don't always find on more recent compilations.

It's a great start, but why not just buy the albums. Most of them have been rereleased in recent years.

Check out his new one "Lay It Down" just as good as anything he's done.
