| | Al Green Soul Survivor CD Al Green Discography of CDs
The most rewarding aspect of Al Green's work was always the way he merged the desires of the flesh with the quest for spiritual redemption. It shouldn't have surprised anyone, then, when he jumped into Gospel music with both feet, completely abandoning secular music and ultimately releasing more Gospel music than anything else. Eventually, he even became the Reverend of his own church. The spirit of salvation drips from every note of SOUL SURVIVOR. As on his other Gospel (or if you prefer, non-secular) releases, all the songs are concerned with the devotion to and search for the divine spirit. While Green does essay the occasional traditional tune ("Yield Not to Temptation"), most of SOUL SURVIVOR is solid R&B. The production may be more geared towards the electronic end than his Hi Records work, but Green's voice is still the otherworldy wonder it always was, and that's what matters most.

Purchase Soul Survivor CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Joe Tex 25 All Time Greatest Hits CD (2000)
Soul Survivor
 $14.19   
Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch (DigiPrep, Hollywood, California).
The ultimate Joe Tex single-disc anthology, 25 ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS delivers just what the title promises, all of Joe Tex's hit singles plus one rare b-side, the quirky, chipper, soul-folk hybrid "Don't Let Your Left Hand Know." The songs aren't in chronological order, but it's still easy to chart Tex's evolution from the ballad-heavy love man of "Hold What You've Got" to the in-your-face soul shouter of "I Gotcha," all the way to his final incarnation as one of the few 1960s soul artists to make an entirely credible shift into disco, culminating in the hilarious but still funky "Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman)." The collection is carefully remastered, so career highlights like "Skinny Legs and All" sound worlds better than on many of the several budget compilations covering this material.
Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl.
Producer: Buddy Killen.
Compilation producers: Bill Dahl, Cary E. Mansfield.
| | Four Tops Live And In Concert CD (1995)
Soul Survivor
$4.55
The Four Tops were having a career resurgence when this excellent live album was recorded in 1974, which may explain the group's overall ebullience throughout. In any case, the repertoire is nicely split between their Motown '60s classics and their '70s hits, and the recorded sound is great; despite the presence of a very big backing band, complete with strings and horns, the whole thing has the intimate feel of a club date. Meanwhile, lead singer Levi Stubbs' extended monologue about the uses of a two-by-four in the case of spousal infidelity (in the downhome, bluesy "I Am Your Man") is in itself worth the price of admission.
The Four Tops: Levi Stubbs, Lawrence Peyton, Obie Benson, Duke Fakir.
Producers: Steve Barri, Dennis Lambert, Brian Potter.
