The Reverend Al Green Makes a Comeback with a Twist on Lou Reed’s Perfect Day: Tune InThe iconic Al Green has emerged from the shadows with a fresh take on Lou Reed’s celebrated 1972 tune, Perfect Day. Marking his first new single in half a decade, the soulful legend hasn’t lost a step. Lou’s ‘Perfect Day’ was always a favorite of mine; it has that knack for lifting spirits instantly, says Green. Our goal was to keep that joyful essence alive but inject our own unique flavor and panache. Be sure to check out this exciting new rendition of an old classic right here.Green’s last musical offering was his rendition of Before the Next Teardrop Falls in 2018, as part of Amazon Music’s Produced By series. But fans have been thirsting for original works, and it’s been a while since Green quenched that thirst. His last album, Lay It Down, graced the world way back in 2008. With producers like Questlove and star-studded guest vocals featuring John Legend, Anthony Hamilton, and Corinne Bailey Rae, the album soared to No. 9 on Billboard’s Top Album charts. Plus, it didn’t just peak on charts; it also scored a Grammy nod for Best R&B Album.Ah, memories! But speaking of unforgettable tunes, make sure you read up on Green’s enduring hit, Let’s Stay Together, spotlighted in The Obama Presidency Playlist. Now that’s a groove that never gets old, much like Green himself. If music had a fine wine, Al Green would surely be a top-shelf vintage! Dig in, audiophiles!
