    Is this for a new Al Green release?

    didn't know this was happening. have you heard any of al's vocals yet -- and if so, how's his voice holding up? Saw some live clips a few years back on which it sounded pretty shot, yet from what I've heard of the last few albums he can still bring it in the studio.

    his voice is still there but most of what they have recorded are scratch tracks written in the studio on the fly...pretty funny outtakes on there too
