I'm Still in Love With You

灵魂乐大师Al Green在一张引起轰动的Let's Stay Together之后趁热打铁，推出了在1972年的第二张专辑，结果反响比第一张还要厉害，主打歌"Love and Happiness"被认为是Al Green的最杰出的代表作之一，他也凭借这张专辑登上了生涯巅峰。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第285位。 by Stephen Thomas Erlewine I'm Still in Love With You shares many surface similarities with its predecessor, Let's Stay Together; from Al Green and Willie Mitchell's distinctive, sexy style to the pacing and song selection. Despite those shared traits, I'm Still in Love With You distinguishes itself with its suave, romantic tone and its subtly ambitious choice of material. Green began exploring country music with this album by performing a startling version of Kris Kristofferson's "For the Good Times," as well as a wonderful, slow reinterpretation of Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman." And the soul numbers are more complex than they would appear -- listen to how the beat falls together at the beginning of "Love and Happiness," or the sly melody of the title track. There isn't a wasted track on I'm Still in Love With You, and in many ways it rivals its follow-up, Call Me, as Green's masterpiece.
