Way back in August, while lamenting the loss of Isaac Hayes , I mentioned my desire to check out one of the few remaining soul legends, Al Green . Well, last Friday night I got my chance to see him at the Showcase Live in Foxborough, MA, and it was well worth it, let me tell you! Always known as the smooth ladies man, Green played the part to the T. Throughout the show he tossed roses out t...

On a purely musical level those folks missed out.If you caught the direction the Rev. was going in his last few secular records,self-produced with some of his own acoustic guitar playing and hints of Funk (The Belle Album and Have a Good time), his first gospel records weren't a wh...
