AL GREEN TO RELEASE I CAN'T STOP ON BLUE NOTE



Blue Note Records has inked a deal with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Al Green and is set to release his new album, I Can't Stop on November 18, 2003.


12 all new songs recorded at Royal Studios in Memphis, TN find Al Green reunited with legendary Producer/ Arranger Willie Mitchell for their first secular recordings together in 27 years.


I Can't Stop features many of Green's classic backing musicians including Teenie Hodges (Guitar), Leroy Hodges (Bass), Rhodes, Chalmers & Rhodes (Backing Vocals), and The Royal Horns.


I Can't Stop marks both a new chapter and an historic homecoming for Al Green. The album was produced and arranged by Willie Mitchell, who oversaw all of Green's classic 1970s recordings. Mitchell also co-wrote eight of the album's twelve original tracks with Green (the other four tracks were written by Green alone).


I Can't Stop is the first secular album that Al Green has recorded with Willie Mitchell since 1976's Have A Good Time. That album came on the arc of several recordings that to this day, remain among the most beloved in soul music, including: Tired of Being Alone (1971), Let's Stay Together (1971), I'm Still In Love With You (1972), Love and Happiness (1972), Call Me (1973), Here I Am (1973) and many others.


I Can't Stop by Al Green is scheduled to be released on Blue Note Records on November 18, 2003.

Sounds and looks like Al Green know what's up! Going back with the talent that helped the magic!

It's happening! I'm pretty young and have only become a Green fan recently (saw him twice in concert and have a hits set). This sounds really good!
