Fat Possum

Soul/gospel singer and songwriter, Al Green, was born on 13 April 1946 in Forrest City, Arkansas, USA. He started his career as Al Greene but has used the name Al Green since the late 1960s. In addition to his music career, he has been a pastor at Memphis' Full Gospel Tabernacle since 1976. Al Green was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 as a performer and into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004.

Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.

In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.

Remastered edition on Fat Possum. Al Green and producer Willie Mitchell established their classic sound with Green's second album, 'Gets Next to You'. The main difference is in the rhythm section. Abandoning the gritty syncopations of deep Southern soul, the Hi Rhythm Section plays it slow and seductive, working a sultry, steady pulse that Green exploits with his remarkable voice. Alternating between Sam Cooke's croon and Otis Redding's shout, Green develops his own distinctive style, and 'Gets Next to Yo'u only touches the surface of its depth. Although the album is filled with wonderful moments, few are as astonishing as Green and Mitchell's reinterpretation of the Temptations' 'I Can't Get Next to You,' which turns the original inside out.
