Al Green Explores Your Mind, Al Green, 1974, :30
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Impossibly smooth Memphis soul. Aside from the soul-spiritual "Take Me to the River," it's not particularly deep (ha!) material, but Green's perfect voice, delivery, phrasing, and enunciation elevate the entirety of the material. This is definitely not a single-song album. Check out the slinky funk of "One Nite Stand," for example. Favorite tracks: "Take Me To the River," "One Nite Stand," "Stay With Me Forever."
