I recently bought Lionel Richie’s Can’t Stop Now on an impulse after getting ‘Stuck On You’ stuck in my head one afternoon.
It’s a great album. Six of its eight tracks were major hits. Today’s SOTD is one of the two that weren’t, but it too is a silky piece of soulful pop balladry.
I have some albums that I never, ever play but would be perfectly happy to have on in the background at a dinner party. I guess it’s the difference between active and passive listening.
I feel that way about this 2003 comeback album by Al Green. I feel that way about all of Al Green’s music, to be honest. He has a legendary voice, the songs are soulful and classy, but they don’t command my full attention.
