Conceived as a collaboration between the soul legend and a handful of gifted young admirers from the worlds of contemporary R&B and hip hop, Lay It Down is drawn from a series of inspired sessions that yielded the most high-spirited, funky and often lushly romantic songs of Al Green’s latter-day career. The album is a refreshingly old school jam, with everyone laying down the music together, face to face, heart to heart, soul to soul.

The project features the sophisticated R&B voices of singer-songwriters John Legend, Anthony Hamilton and Corinne Bailey Rae, and it was co-produced with Green by two of hip-hop's most innovative players, drummer Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson from the Roots and keyboardist James Poyser, the go-to guy for high-profile artists ranging from Erykah Badu to Common. Add in Brooklyn's celebrated Dap-King Horns (Sharon Jones, Amy Winehouse), guitarist Chalmers "Spanky" Alford (Mighty Clouds of Joy, Joss Stone) and bassist Adam Blackstone (Jill Scott, DJ Jazzy Jeff), among others, and you've got a modern soul-music dream team, fronted by the most expressive voice in the business.

Al admits, “That’s the only way I know how to work, that’s what I’ve done all my life. You just write it from here.” He taps his heart. “That’s what we do every Sunday. We never write a sermon now. If you can’t preach out of here,” tapping his chest again, "you have nothing to say anyway. It’s all from the heart, this whole album, from start to finish."

By the time I'm Still In Love With You was released in 1972, the Al Green/Willie Mitchell Hi Records team was a well-oiled hit-making machine. With a #1 hit under his belt with "Let's Stay Together," I'm Still In Love With You put Green right back at the top of the charts with hits like "Look What You Done For Me" and "Love And Happiness." Green also began exploring country music here with his fine interpretations of Kris Kristofferson's "For the Good Times" and Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman."

Originally released in 1972, Let's Stay Together features some of Al Green's finest work and it drips with Southern soul and exquisite arrangements from top-notch producer Willie Mitchell. Prior to this release, Green had never had a #1 song. The title track achieved that status and is complemented wonderfully here by the timeless cover of the Bee Gees "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" among others.
