His fifth album in a row to reach the top of the Soul Albums chart, 1974's 'Al Green Explores Your Mind' was the eighth studio album from the legendary Al Green. While it relatively underperformed commercially, yielding only one significant single in 'Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy)', it also housed 'Take Me To The River', which Talking Heads turned into a classic radio hit four years later. Review: Simply Beautiful - My fave of all of AG's superlative albums showcasing superb timing and range of vocals in sympathy with the incredible swinging midtempo funky backing band--The Memphis Horns.Whether is yearning ,loving reminiscing or spiritual journey aka "Take Me To The River","School Days",or "God Bless Our Love"---this album sizzles on many levels.Highly recommended for all New to the legend that is AG Review: Excellent - Al Green is one of the greatest male soul artists of the 70s. This 1974 album is Al at the top of his game. The unmistakable vocals and unique production by Willie Mitchell. Classic southern 70s soul
