Secondly I was struck by how devotional the lyrics are; this could really be considered Green's first gospel album. After that, well, some songs are quite good; most kinda so-so. There is some strong, funky backing here and there and as usual for Hi Records the background vocals are wonderful, but the lp sorta fades away during listening and I can't really see myself being enthusiastic to listen to it again. Interesting topic and I hope you get more reaction.
