EXPLORES YOUR MIND represents the apex of Green's collaborations with producer Willie Mitchell and the Hi Records rhythm section. Leaner and more pointed than its predecessors, EXPLORES YOUR MIND finds Green stretching his emotions to the limit, testifying for all he's worth to both love and the Lord. Green's vision of the perfect love, as exemplified by "Stay With Me Forever," seems close enough to touch, and when he slips into his silky falsetto, it is the closest thing to rapture that you're likely to hear. Foreshadowing the mix of the worldly with the spiritual that he would explore more fully on THE BELLE ALBUM, Green attempts to reach some kind of accord between the two on "God Bless This Love." The album also includes of one of Green's best-known songs, "Take Me To The River" (which became Talking Heads' first major hit when they covered it four years later), a song that seems to conflate baptism and sexual desire. Despite his subsequent commitment to his religious beliefs, it's likely that the unresolved conflict between Green's body and his soul are what make him such a complex and vital artist.

商品の紹介

Rolling Stone (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 - "When he was signing about it, even ambition sounded like an act of faith."
Rovi

By the time of 1974's Al Green Explores Your Mind, this version of the Memphis sound was the production style for only a handful of artists. Producer Willie Mitchell used a lighter touch for his most famous artist, and it's all but crafted into the Al Green sound. Despite his skills, Green never falls into mannerism here and gives heartfelt and cogent vocals rooted in intelligence and technique. "Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy)," although lyrically slight, has the artist's charisma and Mitchell's pop chops. "Take Me to the River," with perfect backing from Hi Rhythm and a horn and string arrangement, finds Green at his most persuasive. The last track, "School Days," has Green longing for a school girlfriend and despite the potentially sappy sentiment, it works like a charm. The greatness of Al Green Explores Your Mind comes from a collective effort, including James Mitchell's dreamlike string arrangements and the always skilled backing vocals of Rhodes, Chalmers & Rhodes. But the biggest draw here is Green's phrasing and intimate vocals, making the record an extremely strong effort. ~ Jason Elias

AL GREENの74年作フルアルバム。
"GOD BLESSED OUR LOVE"という名バラードを収録しているが、全体として見ると、SOUL色は薄い。
人気が一段落し彼が原点に立ち返り制作出来ただろう頃の作品というレビューを見掛けたが、気楽に聴けるソウル作品であり、人間性がよく現れている一枚ではある。
