THE VAULT

Heaven help us! The Rev. Al Green is ready to stir your soul with the Al Green Anthology,  a new boxed set of classic gems from the Right Stuff/Hi Records. This legendary R&B genius performs with a kind of religious fervor that is sure to convert any non-believer. The four-disc set includes 61 tracks, including music culled from some live TV appearances, in addition to priceless covers of the Doors’ “Light My Fire” and the Carpenters’ “We’ve Only Just Begun.” If you love Green, this box is a worthy addition to your collection. For now, we’re keeping it safe and sound in the Hang’s Vault, a very special place reserved for historic overviews, comprehensive compilations and career retrospectives such as this fine anthology.
