Al Green - Call Me

Two years before he blasted out his Greatest Hits in 1975, Al Green released Call Me - a sumptuous chunk of Memphis soul. Including renditions of heartrending country ballads So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams and Funny How Time Slips Away by Willie Nelson, it also includes world-beating originals such as You Ought To Be With Me, which was later sampled by Ghostface Killah on his debut album Ironman. Here I Am (Come And Take Me) and Call Me (Come Back Home) were top ten hits on the Billboard Chart, and it was the third soul record to reach number one on the album charts.



Call Me is also the 427th Greatest Album of All Time according to Rolling Stone magazine, so Christopher and Liam have done a deep dive on it and now they’re going to lay it down serious-style. Featuring cool jokes and hot takes on everything from the Japanese post-rock band Mono’s recent performance in Lisbon, to why in God’s name Al Green has three separate records on the list, as well as the poor reviewing style of Bruce Springsteen collaborator Jon Landau. All that plus Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week, plus new segments Is This Emo? and Heartwarming Reddit Post of the Week. Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!
